6 Reasons You Need A REALTOR®
- A real estate transaction is complicated. In most cases, buying
or selling a home requires disclosure forms, inspection reports,
mortgage documents, insurance policies, deeds, and multi-page
government-mandated settlement statements. A knowledgeable guide through
this complexity can help you avoid delays or costly mistakes.
- Selling
or buying a home is time consuming. Homes in our area stay on the
market for an average of 60-90 days. And it usually takes another 30
days or so for the transaction to close after an offer is accepted.
- Real
estate has its own language. If you don’t know a CMA from a PUD, you
can understand why it’s important to work with someone who speaks that
language.
- REALTORS® have done it before. Most people buy and
sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in
between each purchase. And even if you’ve done it before, laws and
regulations change. That’s why having an expert on your side is
critical.
- REALTORS® provide objectivity. Since a home often
symbolizes family, rest, and security, not just four walls and roof,
homeselling or buying is often a very emotional undertaking. And for
most people, a home is the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a
concerned, but objective, third party helps you keep focused on both the
business and emotional issues most important to you.
