Buyers Guide: Working with a REALTOR®

Why You Should Work With A
REALTOR®

Are you thinking about buying a new home? It is an exciting time, a new journey no matter if you are a first time buyer or downsizing. You might ask yourself, do I need an agent? Of course our answer is yes, but we won’t leave it there, here are a few reasons why hiring a real estate agent is beneficial to YOU!

Better Access To Homes
- Agents know the market inside and out. While a majority of homes are listed online, there are still private or exclusive listings that you need a realtor for access to.
Negotiations
- You might’ve seen the movie The Negotiator, unfortunately that may not help in home negotiations. An experienced agent can detect issues in a home and help you get the best price for the home. They also know markets comps and are emotionally unattached to the home, meaning they are eve-headed and clear minded to help do what is best
Paperwork Galore!
- As a buyer all you have to do is sign the papers and you're on your way to a new home. But someone has to make up all those forms, and that person is your agent. An agent will help you make sure everything is in order and all the agreed upon items are included.
Save Money
- Agents know where and how to save you money. They know market deficiencies to take advantage of and market exploits to avoid. They can help you not overpay (versus market trends) and make sure you get the best bang for your buck.
Guidance and Support
- Buying a home is exciting right? Sure when you get an accepted offer and then close! However the path to those milestones can be long, bumpy, and frustrating. A good agent can help you navigate the journey and the current marketplace to make it as painless as possible.
Finding the RIGHT home
- There are many homes on the market. Some you’d consider a dream home, others are not in consideration for a host of reasons. Finding that sweet spot is imperative. It is that area of the market where you WANT to be and where you CAN be. Those are the homes to see and those are the homes a great agent can find you.
Closing Day
- The last thing you want in the last stretch of the journey to closing is an unexpected speed bump to derail the whole process. An agent will not only help you rectify these issues but most likely prevent them from even happening in the first place.
