Why you should work with a Realtor/Agent?

Why you should work with a Realtor/Agent ?

Working with a professional Realtor to buy a home is a good idea for several reasons:

  • They have the knowledge and experience. You don't need to know everything about buying and selling homes if you hire a real estate professional who does.
  • They are familiar with the process of selling a home and can explain things to you.
  • They can easily access information on all desired properties listed for sale by Realtors in your area.
  • They can set up appointments for you to see homes that interest you.
  • They will help you complete all the necessary paperwork when it comes time to make an offer.
  • They will help you arrange financing.
  • They can identify comparable sales and provies these facts to you
  • They can provide you data on schools, crime or demographics in the neighbourhood you are looing to buy.
  • Based on market supply, demand and the conditions, the agent will devise a negotiation strategy.
  • Real estate agents know other professionals(escrow, title, fixure/repair personnel) many of whose services you will need to buy or sell. They do know which vendors have good reputation for efficiency, competency and competitive pricing. Agents can, however, give you a list of references with whom they have worked and provide background information to help you make a wise selection.
  • They will be there at closing to answer your questions and make sure everything runs smooth.
