basically: why would someone need a realtor to BUY a house?
i understand that to buy a house, you (buyer) give some money to the owner (seller) in the form of a down payment and essentially get a loan from the bank (mortgage), and then pay that loan back to the bank over the course of years (decades).
for selling a house, i get that you’d want someone to put up the listing and pull connections to get the word out to buyers.
but for buying a home, where do the realtors come in and why does everyone say you need to get one to be a serious buyer?

If experienced, they know the process and bring a lot knowledge to the table. Unfortunately the rate is the same for inexperienced ones.
Ours handled every bump and wrinkle including walking us through what corrections were worth pursuing post-inspection. All we had to do was provide whatever thing (paperwork, check, etc) she needed to keep the process moving forward and providing a calming voice to the whole process.
Don’t get me wrong, it was stressful but way less than if we didn’t have her.
