You have already decided that you would like to purchase a home. So the next decisions concern the type of agency or representation you desire, and who you want to have an agency relationship with.
The first decision is agency and whether you want full or partial representation. In the first message we discussed the similarity in home buying decisions and those made in preparing for a journey.
A few years ago my wife and I took a trip to Australia. When we made the trip we had some choices to be made. 1) We could have just flown over and picked hotels and drifted around. 2) We could have done some research and selected and called hotels and other destinations from home. 3) We could have gone to a local agent that had some of the information, and let them book for us. 4) We selected an agent that was intimately familiar with the areas we were interested in and had them select an itinerary based on criteria we discussed with him, and then book it after we approved.
In the first example we would have had no representation. In the second instance we would have had partial representation. Finally, in the third and fourth instance we would have had full representation, which is what we chose. In the full representation model, the travel agent gave us information ahead of time so that we could make good decisions.
