Clear as Mud

20th June 2019

11th July 2017

Are you hiring a search agent or a buying agent? Be sure you know the difference.

When you select a buying agent, check if they really are a ‘buying’ agent! It sounds nit-picking but you need to understand the difference between search and buying in the agent’s description.
