Great stuff Mimi, thanks for putting it so well. As someone who's learning the ropes, I am always on the look out for tips and advice.

Why Should A Buyer

Use A Realtor?

There is no out-of-pocket cost to the Buyer when using a Real Estate Agent

 

Too often, Buyers and Sellers are not aware of the services that a Realtor provides in the normal course of a transaction. Regrettably, Realtors generally assume that their professional expertise, knowledge and hard work are understood and appreciated by those with whom they work.

The most important services that we offer to our Clients are often performed behind the scenes. I can show you a hundred homes (I sincerely would rather not!), but the job for which we get paid does not really start until you have identified a property on which you would like to make an offer. Without a Realtor, too often the transaction is placed in jeopardy. Because people can go to the internet and look for houses, often they believe that getting from the internet to the closing table will be a breeze. With professional help, it will be much more of a breeze than if you are unrepresented.

A typical transaction requires hundreds of details to be met. The level of skill, knowledge, and attention to detail that your Realtor will provide will be a very important part of the process that you are getting ready to embark on. It is estimated that on any given deal, the Realtor must placate, on average, 71 people from the first encounter to the closing table - experience counts.

Following are scores of typical actions that will happen on your deal. Some may take minutes, some may take hours, some may take days, and some may not even be needed. Each transaction is unique and varied, and you need someone who knows how to navigate the waters of today's complicated real estate process. The Buyer receives the services of the Agent for free (generally), so why would you not want to be professionally represented in this very intense process?

This post is the Cover Letter that I use in conjunction with an earlier LIST entitled What Realtors Do for Buyers.

Sometime later this week I will post the list for What Realtors do for Sellers.  If you want to make sure that you don't miss it, be sure to hit the Subscribe button.
