Benefits of Using a Real Estate Agent
Avoid Closing Problems:
Pitfalls can occur towards the end of a transaction. An agent can
see that the completion of the transaction is smooth right thorough to
signing the papers as well as advise as to ant contractual changes which
might be necessary prior to the closing. Your real estate agent will assist
to ensure that all of the professionals involved in the transaction are
staying on task and on timeline.
Pricing Expertise:
Agents can provide all the data on local home sales and deliver indepth knowledge regarding your purchase that comes from years of
watching transactions close in the neighborhood.
Negotiations:
An agent can write requests objectively and submit them to the
seller/buyer which saves you from getting overly emotional about the
transaction. An agent will take the heat in difficult negotiations in a
businesslike manner, negotiating all facets of the transaction in your best
interest. Requests for repairs can make or break a deal. The touchiest
part of a real estate transaction is often the request for repairs.
Ethical Consideration:
Real estate agents who are members of the National Assisi cation
of REALTORS (NAR) agree to abide by a code of ethics that requires
REALTORS to deal with all parties of a transaction honestly.
Tackling the Paperwork:
A real estate transaction involves an extensive amount of
paperwork. An agent can properly prepare the necessary real estate
purchase contract, disclosures and associated forms that are required to
be fully executed by the buyer and seller. The odds of missing
something, not initialing a page or failing to check a box, can
substantially decrease when you’re working with a professional who
knows all the paperwork well. Not to mention the added protection of
forms provided by some brokers to protect their clients against potential
issues.

Finding Available Homes:
While homes for sale can be viewed online, often time’s great
properties are not widely publicized. Whether it be a health issue,
financial problems, divorce factors, holidays or simply the seller has
chosen to not advertise their house online, having a REALTOR gives you
access to these properties. When you have a well-rounded agent working
for you, most often you will have access to homes that have yet to go on
the market, thus eliminating any competition as a buyer.
Selling Before Listing:
When you choose to sell your house with a well-rounded agent,
sometimes their sphere of networking is enough to find a buyer before it
is ever even listed for sale online or on the MLS. A true neighborhood
expert will have the contacts to have your house sell quickly and for fair
value.
Code Expertise:
Maybe you want to buy a home near a business district and turn
the front in to a store or perhaps you want to add an addition or build a
backyard fence. Experienced real estate agents are familiar enough with
local zoning ordinances to make sure you’re buying a property where the
city allows it.
