As a buyer, you're more than likely going to encounter a few estate agents on your house buying journey. But this is also a part of the journey which throws up a bunch of questions, especially if you are a first-time buyer!

How do agents get new business with today's lack of supply? Does the sale always go to the highest bidder? How much information should an agent request from you? 

Our guest in this episode to help us answer these questions and much more is Ben Thompson of Churches Estate Agents. Apart from being Ireland's friendliest estate agent by day, Ben is also the editor of Irish Home Magazine and helped to create and publish the very popular Irish Home Buyers Journal which was launched in 2021.

He has a wealth of knowledge on the house buying process and we were very grateful to get him on the podcast to pick up some great insights into the world of agents!

Remember to follow Irish Home Magazine on Instagram and Facebook (both @irishhomemagazine) to find details on the launch of the second edition of The Irish Home Buyers Journal. Or just visit IrishHome.ie for some great advice on buying a home!
