What’s the different between a buyers agent and the other real estate agents in Tulum Mexico?

A broker will take a lot of stress off your plate while helping you find the best condo at the best price.
In this article we examine why you should use a real estate buyer agent when navigating the Tulum Real Estate Market.

A buyer’s real estate broker (buyer’s broker) negotiates with the developer to secure the best terms for you, the buyer.

A buyer’s agent can provide you with objective information about the properties available in Tulum. The information provided to you by other real estate agents will be biased toward the properties they represent.

2. Buyer broker does not represent the seller.

A buyer’s broker can save you thousands of dollars and fees because they typically have access to more than one developer and can negotiate with them for better pricing.
Condos are often sold out prior to construction being complete. The broker also helps locate units that have been “off-market” for some time and can be purchased at a significant discount. In addition, the project may have additional amenities or upgrades that may not have been advertised or available to other potential buyers.
