PHOTO: Real Estate Agents<\/strong><\/p>\n

IT\u2019S no secret that some people struggle to trust real estate agents. The latest Roy Morgan annual Image of Professions Survey showed they ranked as the least trusted professionals behind only advertising people and used car salesman.<\/p>\n

\n

I find that ironic considering the average person will, at some point in their life, need to trust an agent with far more money than they ever will nurses, doctors or police \u2014 usually regarded the most trustworthy professionals.<\/p>\n

The truth is that a real estate agent is actually indispensable if you want to buy a home. They may represent sellers but they\u2019re more often a help for buyers than a hindrance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
