Whether buying or selling a home in the Lawrence, Ks area, choosing an agent to work closely with is crucial. Realtors abide by a code of ethics which is taken very seriously. There are countless hours of work done behind the scenes and good agents make the process seem effortless for their clients.
When listing your home or making an offer on a property, your agent should provide you with a detailed "Comparative Market Analysis" CMA, showing adjusted values on each comparable. This will give you a good idea of what the "Fair Market" value is for that specific property. This will also give you an indication of where the appraised value will be if there is financing involved in the transaction.
There are many other factors that influence your bottom line when buying and selling. Both buyer and seller motivation can impact a sales price. Experienced agents know and understand the value in asking pertinent questions to get insight on reasons for buying and selling.
One of the most important keys in having a successful relationship with your agent is communication. You should ask questions and find out about the individual and develop a comfort level. Your agent should also ask questions about you, your lifestyle, etc. The initial consultation should take a minimum of one hour.
Selecting the right agent could save or cost you thousands.
