The Advantage team shares these reasons to use a licensed Realtor for buying or selling your home.
- Expert Guides: Whether you are buying or selling a home, it requires dozens of forms, reports, disclosures and other technical documents. A Realtor is a knowledgeable expert who helps you prepare the best deal, and avoid delays or costly mistakes.
- Objective Information and Opinions: Realtor can provide local information on utilities, zoning and schools, and have objective information about each property. By understanding both your needs and search area, your Realtor can also point out neighborhoods you don’t know much about, but which might suit your needs better than you had thought.
- Marketing and Expanded Search Powers: When selling your home, in addition to advertising your home, many prospects for a home sale come from a Realtor’s contacts with previous clients, friends and family. Your Realtor will prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property — you never have to worry about allowing strangers into your home. A Realtor can help you find opportunities not listed on home search sites, and also help you avoid out-of-date listings that might be showing up as available online, but are no longer on the market.
- Negotiation Knowledge: A Realtor will look at every angle from your perspective, including crafting a purchase agreement that allows enough time for you to complete inspections and investigations of the property, before you are bound to finalize the purchase.
- Up-To-Date Experience: Most people sell only a few homes in a lifetime, and those sales typically have many years in-between. Even if you’ve done it before, laws and regulations change. Realtors handle hundreds of transactions over the course of their career and are experts at what they do.
- Your Rock During Emotional Moments: A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. And, for most people, buying a home is the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you stay focused on the issues most important to you.
- Ethical Treatment. Every Realtor must adhere to a strict code of ethics, which is based on professionalism and protection of the public. As a Realtor’s client, you will receive honest and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters. The first obligation is to you, the client.
