It can often be difficult to make informed
choices about the home you are looking to
buy. Think about it. It takes a smooth-talking,
fast-thinking buyer's agent to iron out this tiff
with the listing agent and gain that agent's
cooperation at this point.

• To look out for is a brokerage that may also
  represent other buyers who are competing for the
  same property.

  transaction to earn a higher commission.
