Slussen Meeting Lines

That depends. Unlike the seller, who is often locked into listing the house with just one broker at a time, a buyer is free to approach as many brokers as he or she wants. Certainly, if you’re interested in communities that are located a considerable distance from each other, it may make sense for you to rely on a different broker in each of those areas. And if you see a property advertised that the broker you’re using hasn’t shown you, you should by all means feel free to follow up. But in most cases I think you’ll find that getting involved with more than one broker creates an unnecessary and confusing duplication of effort. Chances are that all the brokers you select will be plugged into the same Multiple Listing Service and so will be trying to show you the same properties. If you find a broker you like who seems to be doing a good job of covering the areas you want to see, there’s probably no need to look further. On the other hand, if you’ve been driving around with the same broker for three weeks and still haven’t seen anything you like, it’s probably time to find another agent, one who either has
a better selection of homes or is more attuned to your needs.
