5 Reasons to Work with a Realtor
Buying a home is likely the largest purchase you will make in your lifetime. Going at is alone is a risky move! Realtors are a tremendous value add and can make the process seamless. Here are 5 reasons to work with a Realtor.
Local expert and guide. Selling a home requires dozens of forms, reports, disclosures, and other technical documents. A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best deal, and avoid delays or costly mistakes. Also, there’s a lot of jargon involved, so you want to work with a professional who can speak the language.
Objective information and opinions. Realtors can provide local information on utilities, zoning, schools, and more. After having a discussion on your housing needs, a good Realtor will be able to point you to an area of town that best fits your criteria. They also have objective information about each property. Realtors can use that data to help you determine if the property has what you need.
Listing exposure. Property doesn’t sell due to advertising alone. A large share of real estate sales comes as the result of a realtor’s contacts with previous clients, friends, and family. When a property is marketed by a Realtor, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Your Realtor will generally prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.
Negotiation knowledge. There are many factors up for discussion in a deal. A Realtor will look at every angle from your perspective, including crafting a purchase agreement that allows you the flexibility you need to take that next step.
Your rock. A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. And for most people, property represents the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you stay focused on the issues most important to you.
