Your personal expert real estate guide.
With a variety of forms, reports, disclosures and various legal and financial documents, the home buying process can be very tedious. But a knowledgeable Realtor will know exactly what’s required in your market.
Not only can they help you avoid costly mistakes, but they also understand the jargon of real estate.
Gives you increased search power.
There are endless opportunities in the real estate market, and with a Realtor, you are given access to expand your search power.
By using a system called the multiple listing service, your agent can go through and evaluate all active listings that meet your criteria. Along with this, they can also alert you to listings coming soon and provide data on your local market.
Offers objective information and opinions.
A great Realtor will help you meet your buying objectives while providing an unbiased opinion. Plus, Realtors are a great source of local information including, zoning rules, utilities, contractors and local amenities.
Provides an up-to-date experience.
Have you purchased a home before? Don’t get too far ahead of yourself and dive into the home buying process alone this time; laws and regulations are constantly changing. A Realtor is here to provide you with the most updated information and experience.
Negotiates on your behalf.
Real estate transactions can be laborious. From repairs to timelines and contingencies, a Realtor is there to look at these from your perspective and help you negotiate an agreement that meets your needs before you purchase. It’s just one more of the reasons to be thankful for your Realtor.
Provides fair and ethical treatment.
While searching for your agent, be sure to ask them if they are a member of the National Association of REALTORSⓇ. Under this association, each member must follow the REALTORⓇ Code of Ethics and provide fair treatment based on professionalism and serving in the interest of clients.
