Benefits of Hiring a Real Estate Agent!
by Margo S Morgan Your real estate match makerThe home buying and selling
process can be an intense and difficult task. With so much information
available online, many people think they can take on the task on their own
without using the services of a real estate agent.
The real estate market can be complicated if one does not have the knowledge
and experience. The benefits of using the services of a real estate agent can
make the process much simpler and less stressful.
The following outlines the many benefits of hiring a
real estate agent:
1. Knowledge and Know-How:
Purchasing a home is more than just submitting an offer. An agent will have
such knowledge as the community, neighborhoods, schools, road system,
hospitals, shopping and supermarket locations ...etc. They can also help you
find a home that you can afford as well as offer advice on mortgages. They are
knowledgeable about all that is involved when buying a home, such as the
documentation required and the steps involved with the purchase. A real estate
agent takes you through the process and minimizes the stress.
2. Time-Saver:
If you are selling a home,
an agent can take over the tasks such as arranging for a showing as well as
actually showing the home. If you are buying a home, the agent will arrange for
viewing homes that will suit your needs instead of spending time looking at
homes that do not serve your purpose.
3. Buying and Selling Price Assistance: Agents will know if a home that is being sold is
worth the money. They will look at such aspects as home demand and supply,
current market conditions, the location, the type of house, and if the details
of the house such as the number of bedrooms, are appropriate for the asking
price. They can also negotiate the price which could save you thousands of
dollars. Agents have access to such information as the value of other homes in
the area, average sale prices, and the number of days the home has been on the
market.
4. Essential Contacts: Agents may be able to recommend such professionals as
a home inspector, Mortgage Company, a good attorney - etc. They have great
contacts with those in the home sales market. They know reputations and can
provide a number of choices so one can choose wisely.
5. Manage Documentation: The amount of paperwork involved with selling and
buying a home can seem complicated and overwhelming to the novice. The Purchase
papers can often be more than 10 pages. There are other papers such as such as
federal and state disclosure forms. A real estate agent has the knowledge about
all documentation involved with the sale process so that everything will be
written up properly and legally.
6. Support:
Because of the complex nature of the real estate process, you never know what
questions you will have, but one thing for sure is that you will have
questions. An agent will answer every question from start to closing.
Real estate agents play a
crucial rule in the home sale/purchase process. By hiring a real estate agent,
one will save time, money, and reduce a great deal of stress. For any home
buy/selling venture, a qualified real estate agent is a must-have.
