Real Estate

A Realtor® will guide you through the buying/selling process, making sure you and all parties involved get the information needed to close in a timely manner. Here is a list of specific benefits to Buyers and Sellers:

Buyers: The invaluable information an educated Realtor® can provide is FREE. The fee is paid by the sellers listing their homes. This is what a competent Realtor® will do for you:

All the necessary research to make sure you have up to date information on ALL INVENTORY, including what is not yet advertised on a multiple listing service such as brand NEW LISTINGS or NEW CONSTRUCTION.

SAVE YOU TIME by only showing you homes that meet your criteria and your budget. Experienced Realtors® know more about the interiors of neighborhood homes than what you see from online photos.

Provide SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION such as schools, parks, shopping, transportation, etc.

EVALUATE THE HOME A listing agent is not going to advertise any flaws in the home, but a keen Realtor® will know exactly what to look for and point out possible issues. If issues of title arise your Realtor® can help you explain any easements, our clouded titles, etc.

Help you DETERMINE YOUR BEST OFFER by looking at several factors:

1. Running comps (comparable sales prices)
2. Providing crucial neighborhood information and historical data.
3. Looking at your cash down, occupancy date flexibility, and financing
4. Considering listing price trends of the neighborhood through research and networking with other agents.
5. Market demands
6. Obtain disclosures

DRAFT YOUR INITIAL CONTRACT, including any stipulations that are unique to your situation. Making sure all dates included allow enough time for you to fully inspect and investigate property, and secure a mortgage, if necessary.

NEGOTIATION AND CLOSING ADVICE A smart Realtor® will help you determine whether to accept an offer or negotiate further. Once all issues have been resolved a competent Realtor® will make sure all repairs and stipulations made in the contract have been carried out.

Buying a home will be one of the most substantial purchases you will make in your lifetime. Considering all of the factors involved, even if it’s just to save your investment of time, doesn’t it make sense to higher a professional Realtor®?

Sellers:

Working with a Realtor® will bring the MOST NUMBER OF QUALIFIED BUYERS to your home. More buyers, equal more opportunities to obtain a higher sales price, and create the opportunity for competing offers for your home. Isn’t that what every seller wants?...Read More
