I was recently a first time homebuyer and my real estate agent was really helpful in basically holding my hand through the process. He walked me through a contract to buy and sell, since I'd never seen one before. He helped me figure out a competitive offer for the house I wanted. He was able to spend time on things like searching for houses or setting up tours while I was working, it was great. Just looking at houses online only scratches the surface of the homebuying process, IMO, and frankly with my full-time job it would have taken me much longer to find a house... assuming I would have even known how to get to closing, which I didn't.
