Today we may have heard or continue to hear how real estate agents are making too much money for their efforts. Yet, very few "experts" and even more importantly, the consumers, actually know all the behind the scenes activities that happen within any real estate transaction especially for out of area home buyers or vacant land buyers.
Professional real estate agents and REALTORS® are the "Source of the Source". These state licensed professionals can guide potential sellers and buyers to the various resources to expedite sales of residential property or vacant land parcels.
For example, when buying a home in AZ, these professional real estate agents can "Be the Source of the Source" for:
- Local Financial Lenders
- Local Title and Escrow Firms
- Local Insurance Companies especially for Manufactured Home
- Local Vendors for Manufactured Homes, Plumbers, Electricians, etc.
- Local Inspectors such as Home, Termite, Solar, Well, etc.
- Local Utility Firms such as Electric, Gas, Water
- Quick access to property information from property dimensions, to property taxes, to zoning ordinances
- MLS information not visible to the general public/consumers
- Access to EPA Flood Information
- Local Home Owner's Associations' Contact Information
- Road Accessibility
- Properties on the market that are specific to the buyer's needs and wants
- Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that compares Apples to Apples especially for rural properties and vacant land
The above is just a partial list of how real estate agents or REALTORS® actively work to be the source of the source.
Possibly this 24 part series of "She Works Hard for the Money Part 1" may begin to provide some additional insight.
