- A real estate transaction is complicated. In most cases, buying or selling a home requires disclosure forms, inspection reports, mortgage documents, insurance policies, deeds, and multi-page government-mandated settlement statements. A knowledgeable and competent agent will guide you through this complexity and can help you avoid delays or costly mistakes.
- Selling or buying a home is time consuming. Pricing remains a key factor and homes not priced well sit on the market and eventually chase the market down. It can take another 60 days or more for the transaction to close after an offer is accepted. An agent who is familiar with the current market can advise and work with you in meeting our desired goal on a timely basis.
- Real estate has its own language. If you don’t know a CMA from a PUD, you can understand why it’s important to work with someone who speaks that language.
- REALTORS have done it before. Most people buy and sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each purchase. And even if you’ve done it before, laws and regulations change. Having an expert on your side is critical.
- Selling or buying a home can be a very emotional experience. A home often symbolizes family, rest, and security, not just four walls and roof. For most people, a home is the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you keep focused on both the business and emotional issues most important to you to ensure you make a good decision that is not entirely based on emotion.
- Agent representation will ensure that someone will be looking after your best interest at all times. REALTORS are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS, a trade organization of more than 1 million members nationwide. REALTORS subscribe to a stringent code of ethics that helps guarantee the highest level of service and integrity.
