5
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. Even in a strong
market, homes in our area stay on the market for an
average of ____ days. And it usually takes another 60
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.
