5 Reasons You Need a REALTORÒ

 1.     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.

 2.     Selling or buying a home is time consuming. Even in a strong market, homes in our area stay on the market for an average of 30 to 180 days or more. Higher priced homes can be on the market for 180 days to 2 years or more, depending on price and location. And it usually takes another 30 to 60 days or so for the transaction to close after an offer is accepted.

 3.     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.

 4.     REALTORSÒ 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.

 5.     REALTORSÒ 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.
