Top Reasons for hiring a Realtor

Market Knowledge – Real Estate Agents can disclose market conditions, which will govern your selling or buying process. Many factors determine how you will proceed. Data such as the average per square foot of similar homes, median and average sales prices, average days on the market and ratios of list-to-sold prices, among other criteria, will have a huge bearing on what you ultimately decide to do.

Business Knowledge – Home inspections, property appraisals, hazard insurance, title insurance and property taxes can all be unfamiliar topics.  Your Real Estate agent will explain how each of these affect the closing process.

Price Guidance – Contrary to what some people believe, agents do not select prices for sellers and buyers.  However, an agent will help to guide clients to make the right choice for themselves.  Agents can look up what homes in a certain neighborhood are selling for, and advise you on what the best offer would be.

Resources – Real Estate agents have ample resources to find the ideal property and possess the necessary negotiating skills to procure it.  Agents typically use the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to find properties that best match your wish list.  Real Estate agent can email links to listings, which allows you to pick and choose which homes you may like or not like.

Negotiations – Negotiating is a part of the process and good Real Estate agents are great at it.  Agents can remove themselves from the emotional aspects, presenting buyers/sellers offers objectively while keeping their client’s best intentions in minds.

Experience – A professional Real Estate agent has the experience to work through the sale process efficiently.  They step in when there are financing problems , deal directly with buyers objections & complaints, and facilitate the contract and escrow to ensure a successful close.
