WHY A REALTOR:
1.)   Choosing a Agent:

Choosing a good real estate agent is your most important task. When you find an honest, hard-working agent, they will take care of things
for you effectively so you don’t have to work so hard. When you choose an agent, you should be looking for the following qualifications:
  • Professional knowledge and experiences, as well as reliability and a sincere attitude
  • Familiarity with the area that you are interested in buying in
  • A buyer’s agent is better than a dual agent--a listing agent who acts as the agent for both the seller and buyer
2.)  The Benefits of Using a Professional Realtor:

You’ll experience a wide variety of benefits when you hire a real estate professional. Successfully buying a property is a complicated
exercise, and Realtors have the experience, resources and contacts to complete your sale quickly and smoothly.

Negotiating

    When negotiating a purchase, most buyers prefer to deal with a middleperson who is objective, unemotional and professional.
    Buyers will often feel more comfortable with a Realtor than with the owner when they want to raise issues that need resolving
    before making an offer.

Monitoring, Renegotiating, Closing or Settling

    A Realtor will guide you through the minefield of potential problems associated with the appraisal, inspection and financing
    process, including the often complicated escrow instructions. In addition, your agent can meet and instruct any specialists or
    tradespeople who may be required for repairs or other issues that need to be completed before closing.
