Purchasing a Home? Why Use a Realtor?

The reasons for using a real estate agent are both many and very significant. They include, but are not limited to the following:
1. The seller of the home will have a qualified Realtor looking out for their best interests. They do not pay their Realtor to look out for you. That is my job.
2. Real estate is all that I do. I am constantly monitoring the market and actively looking on your behalf daily. Through my networking, I often have information on new listings before they hit the market.
3. As a Realtor, I have access to information that the public often finds difficult to obtain. I can research any home on the market before my client writes an offer to ensure that my client isn’t paying too much.
4. Negotiating isn’t much fun for the average home buyer. This is one of my strengths and I love to do it. I negotiate on property all the time when an average home buyer will only negotiate on a few homes throughout their entire lives. I save my clients money.
5. Besides price, there are other terms in the contract that also require negotiation. I am completely familiar with the real estate contracts in use and know the ins and outs of negotiating the various terms.
6. Contracts can sometimes seem overwhelming and confusing. I work with these contracts on a daily basis. I will assist you with understanding the components of the contract and ensure that you are protected.
7. There are many other details relating to the purchase of a home to deal with. I align myself with other professional service providers to make the purchase easy. I have great alliances with mortgage brokers, title and escrow officers, and home inspectors. You don’t have to worry about much of anything…I do it for you.
8. My services don’t cost you anything. I work on your behalf for free!
