Buyer representation
I ran across a wonderful post why buyer representation is so important by Doug Quance from Atlanta's Broker's First Realty and a regular contributor to the outstanding Bloodhound Blog.

Sellers have agents representing them in a real estate transaction. Buyers should be represented as well.
