Whether you’re purchasing your first home or selling your property, working with an experienced real estate agent is an essential part of navigating the experience with ease. Depending on which part of the real estate journey you’re traveling down, the responsibilities and services of your agent can vary.
Warren Bradley Partners with Zeitlin Sotheby’s International Realty is a top real estate team in the greater Nashville area that engages as either listing or buyer’s agents, depending on our client’s needs. Here, our team breaks down the differences between these differing roles and how we tackle each service:
What is a Buyer’s Agent?
A buyer’s agent is a real estate professional who represents the interests of the homebuyer. At Warren Bradley Partners, our primary goal as a buyer’s agent is to help you find the perfect home, negotiate favorable terms, and guide you through the entire home-buying process.
The Primary Responsibilities of a Buyer’s Agent:
- Property Search: We work closely with you as the buyer to understand your needs, preferences, and budget. With our extensive experience in the local Nashville area market, we can guide you to the neighborhoods and properties that match your goals, saving you time and effort.
- Market Expertise: The Warren Bradley Partners team has more than 80 years of combined experience in the greater Nashville area real estate market. We know the key differences between “A-Level” and “B-Level” properties, giving you critical insights into the value of available properties. We’re experts in the local market, including current trends, property values, and neighborhood availability. With our team, you can make informed decisions about potential purchases.
- The Logistics: Leave the logistics to our team! As a buyer’s agent, we handle the schedule for property viewings and accompany you to showings. We offer professional advice and guidance throughout the process. We also negotiate on your behalf when you identify a property you’d like to purchase, allowing you to feel confident about submitting an offer.
- Closing Coordination: As your buyer’s agent, we manage the transaction process for you, including inspections, appraisals, and coordination with the seller’s agent and lending parties. We’ll also verify that the correct paperwork is completed accurately and submitted in a timely manner.
What is a Listing Agent?
A listing agent, also known as a seller’s agent, represents the interests of the homeowner looking to sell their property. When we engage with a client as a listing agent, our team emphasizes effective marketing to attract qualified buyers and achieve the best possible sales price.
The Primary Responsibilities of a Listing Agent:
- Create a Competitive Listing: At Warren Bradley Partners, we want to help you achieve the best result. Pricing the home properly is critical. We will conduct a market analysis to determine the optimal market price for a competitive listing.
- Marketing Your Home: Our most important priority is effectively showcasing your home, so we emphasize a comprehensive marketing strategy. We’ll use key vendors to professionally stage and photograph your home, highlighting its best features with gorgeous photography. We’ll then use a multi-platform digital marketing strategy to put your home in front of qualified potential buyers.
- The Logistics: Our attention to detail is unmatched. As your listing agent, we handle all the logistics for managing offers, negotiating favorable terms, and coordinating the closing process. We strive to secure the highest possible sales price with preferable contingencies to ensure a smooth, timely closing for you as our client. Our team guides you through the entire process so you can feel confident that your home is in good hands.

Understanding the roles of a buyer’s agent and a listing agent is crucial for anyone involved in a real estate transaction.
