Hi, all. I was wondering what the pros and cons are of using a buyers agent for purchasing land in Southern Maine.....is it common to use a buyers agent for purchasing land? How do I locate a reputable one in the areas I am looking at? Do they require a retainer?
I am currently trying to narrow down my areas of interest....I am also learning how to read the land ads. I am figuring out why some lots have been sitting on the market for so long, (no public road access, difficulty getting utilities there, etc.) I really think a buyers agent could help me make the right decision, since I am unfamiliar with a lot of rural issues...growing up in urban, suburban areas, I have never had to deal with septic and well issues, for instance. Right now I am looking for land to build in the future, maybe 5-10 years from now.
Have any of you used a buyers agent? If so, what was your experience? Thanks in advance for any advise you can share.
