One of the millionaire's secrets to successful real estate investing is that they work with a buyer’s agent. Whether you are a trade up buyer, looking for a second home, investment property or even if you are a first time home buyer, you too can take advantage of buyer’s agent representation services. Successful real estate investors, especially those with experience and a higher net worth, prefer to work with a buyer’s agent. This partnership decreases their chances of incurring unnecessary expenses due to “lemon” properties with excessive deferred maintenance, or other long term investment negatives like poor location and/or other undesirable future resale influences.
