The Benefits of the Real Estate Agent

 

 

Do you need a real estate agent? Over the last several years we’ve seen a lot of changes in the real estate industry. Thanks to the Internet, buyers and sellers have instant access to real estate information. And because buyers and sellers have instant access to real estate information, they might be tempted to think they don’t need the services of a real estate agent.

 

But not so fast. Even in this era of instant access to real estate information, real estate agents still provide many benefits and added value to buyers and sellers. And below I want to list a few reasons buyers and sellers still benefit from the services of a real estate agent.

 

One thing that hasn’t changed about buying/selling real estate is the fact that it is still a very serious financial transaction that carries huge practical and emotional implications. And a professional real estate agent is always there for you during any and all challenging times.

 

A professional real estate agent will take your call at all hours of the day. More importantly, things don’t always go perfectly in a real estate transaction. And a professional real estate agent will listen to you, guide you and support you when things go sideways. When you have a professional real estate agent on your team- they will protect you as well as they will make sure there are no mistakes made during the buying and selling process.

 

A professional real estate agent has the inside track in their local market. In certain cases, real estate transactions fall into place due to the strength of the relationships a professional real estate agent creates over time. A professional real estate agent is well-connected with other agents, lenders, inspectors, and others in the real estate industry. And the relationships they’ve created provides certain advantages such as finding deals not yet on the market or making sure your offer looks the best in a competitive bidding situation.

 

A professional real estate agent knows your purchase or sale as transactional. A professional real estate agent understands long after the closing their services continue. A professional real estate agent provides helpful data about your transaction even after closing.

 

Not only is selling/buying real estate a major decision, but it can also be stressful, too! Just remember. Selling/buying real estate does not have to be so stressful when you have a professional real estate agent on your team guiding you through your real estate transaction.

Anyone who tries to sell their house on their own are thinking that way they don't have to pay that commission. What they don't realize is how much work is involved in selling a home. Hire a pro. Less headache and a good agent is worth their weight in gold like YOU Jon.

Jon, when buying and selling a home, choosing the right Realtor® is THE most important step. You certainly have all the qualities Realtors should have.

Some people feel they don't.  Often, you don't know what you don't know, and surely tread into the waters of buying or selling without representation at their own risk.  Rest assured, there is always another party to the transaction who will take advantage of the opportunity just handed to them.
