Also, how do you know if someone is a buyer's agent?
Oh, they advertise it that way, and in fact, I think your agent is required to tell you what kind of agent he or she is. There's a good overview of agent types at the National Association of Exclusive Buyer's Agents website:
If you don't have a recommendation for a mortgage broker from a friend or colleague, you might consider talking with a local buyer's agent first and see if she can recommend one to you.
You totally don't need to do it all alone. :) *hugs more*
