5 Reasons You Need a REALTOR
1. A real estate transaction is complicated.
In most cases, buying or selling a home requires
disclosure forms, inspection reports, mortgage
documents, insurance policies, deeds, and multi-page
government-mandated settlement statements. A
knowledgeable guide through this complexity
can help you avoid delays or costly mistakes.
2. Selling or buying a home is time consuming.
Even in a strong market, homes in our area stay
on the market for an average of around 90 days.
And it usually takes another 45 days or so for
the transaction to close after an offer is accepted.
3. Real estate has its own language. If you
don’t know a CMA from a PUD, you can understand
why it’s important to work with someone
who speaks that language.
4. REALTORS have done it before. Most people
buy and sell only a few homes in a lifetime,
usually with quite a few years in between each
purchase. And even if you’ve done it before,
laws and regulations change. That’s why
having an expert on your side is critical.
5. REALTORS provide objectivity. Since a home
often symbolizes family, rest, and security,
not just four walls and roof, homeselling or
buying is often a very emotional undertaking.
And for most people, a home is the biggest purchase
they’ll ever make. Having a concerned,
but objective, third party helps you keep focused
on both the business and emotional issues most
important to you.
6. REALTORS are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF REALTORS, a trade organization of more than
1 million members nationwide. REALTORS subscribe
to a stringent code of ethics that helps guarantee
the highest level of service and integrity.
