Do I need a buyer's agent to purchase a home in Sea Island?

Accepted Answer

In Georgia, buyers are not legally required to use an agent, but working with one is strongly recommended.

Ask about their recent sales in Sea Island specifically, how many transactions they've closed in the last 12 months, how they'll market your home (or source listings for buyers), their communication style, and whether they work solo or with a team. A strong local agent will have direct answers for all of these.
