A (NEEDLESSLY) DIFFICULT PATH Wouldn't it be great to be able to buy a house on your own, just like picking up a quart of milk at the grocery store? Or over the Internet, like clicking to buy a book or CD? Buying a house is still a complicated process, with more steps looming ahead of you than might be apparent at first. Depending on newspaper ads for house information, or on always-outdated internet pages from the sellers' agents, is no substitute for having your own member of the Austin Multiple Listing Service checking constantly for new listings that fulfill your needs. Likewise, using a quick drive-through to assess neighborhoods, or anecdotes from business associates to evaluate schools, can't measure up to relying upon the knowledge of a longtime Austin resident and real estate professional who works for you. Even if you already know what neighborhood you want, scanning "For Sale" signs and calling lots of sellers' agents can be a long and frustrating process. You might have lots of agents "working for you," but you will be on everybody's "back burner" rather than on the "front burner" of your own buyer's agent. And of course, these sellers' agents really are working for the sellers. Remember that the seller's agent is legally obligated to get the best deal possible for the seller--and where does that leave you, the buyer? Try the alternative.
