5 Reasons to Use a Real Estate Agent - When people sell or buy a home, they have the option to consult a real estate professional, or do the work themselves. While it may be less expensive to try to work through all of the details yourself, you may be better off seeking help from a professional if you don’t have experience buying or selling homes. Ultimately, the decision is yours, but here are five reasons using a real estate agent can be more beneficial for you.

Educate
Whether it’s your first time buying or selling a home, or your tenth time, you will never know as much as a realtor with years of experience. Hiring a professional will enable you to learn and become educated about the homes in the area and what to look for in a new home. They will know how to advise on pricing your home to sell and provide you with homes for sale in your budget.

This is their job
Hiring an agent allows you to be off the hook when it comes to showing your home to potential buyers. The agent will act as the buffer and will be present for all of the showings at your residence. They will also be able to decipher between lookers and serious buyers, sometimes prompting them to make an offer right there.

Network
Real estate agents can tap their network to either get your home sold quickly and efficiently, or to find you the perfect home to move into. Agents have the ability to tap into their network of other professionals, giving you the most options to choose from.

Guidance
A real estate agent can guide you through the process of buying and selling your home, making sure that nothing is missed and you come out on top of the deal. They will help with negotiating and always keep your best interest in mind.

Closing
From start to finish, your real estate agent can help you with the entire closing process. Right from the initial agreement and offer, to the actual close of the deal, your real estate agent will be there advising along the way.

Using a real estate professional can make all the difference in selling your home and/or searching for your next new home. Not only can it make the process easier and better for you, it can leave you more profitable in the end. For more information on why you should use a real estate agent, visit here.

Experience is the KEY and the value of hiring an agent.  Full-time agents are immersed in their market of expertise day-in and day-out.  I know investors who have sold dozens of homes who would never think of not working with an agent.
