If you are going to hire a real estate agent, then you need to know how to deal with them first. Why? Because in order to get the best deal, you need to know how these things work.

First, be aware that the estate agents prefer to talk to persons who are ready to make the deal. Next, be careful when accepting big discounts and incentives because this might lead to money loss instead of savings. Next, you need to proceed at your own time. Do not be rushed into making a decision that might cost you later. When getting a quote, discuss this also with your mortgage adviser aside from the agent.
