I have come to realize in my real estate career that a lot of people aren't aware of the fact that there are agents in the real estate business that actually specialize. Some know there are agents that work commercial, others that work a particular area or neighborhood. Interestingly, most don't know that there is a different kind of specialty in Real estate that is actually a great advantage to the consumer.
What I'm talking about is listing specialists and buyer's agents. Why would a real estate agent choose to work with just buyers or just sellers, and what advantage does it pose to the consumer?
A buyer (or listing) specialist is a great advantage to both the consumer and the agent, because it allows that professional to become an expert at what they do. If all that individual is concentrating on is working with buyers for example, then they are going to know exactly how to find you the right house, write the best offer, and negotiate with the most experience and expertise for your behalf. It's kind of like the difference of going to a family doctor for a foot problem, or a podiatrist. The family doctor is a great doctor, and very knowledgeable about the general practice of medicine, but the podiatrist concentrates solely on the feet and has a much better understanding of that particular area and the problems associated with it.
If you are looking to buy or sell a home in Orange Park, call around and see if you can find a team that has these specialties. Nothing is more important than hiring the right agent for the job, especially when it comes to the biggest purchase you'll ever make.
