Why Use a Realtor to Purchse your Next Home

Do you know why it is so important for home buyers to use a Realtor? All real estate licensees are not created equal. Only members of the National Association of Realtors are properly called Realtors. They display the Realtor logo on business cards, any marketing and sales literature, and on websites. And why is it important to you? Well, as a Realtor we are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. We subscribe to a strict code of ethics, and are held accountable to maintain a higher level of knowledge when it comes to buying a home.

If that isn’t enough reason right there, here are a few more:

Realtors can help you determine how much you are able to spend on a home. With some basic information, we are able to refer you to the best qualified lender to help you. Working with a lender who can specialize with your individual needs will make all the difference in your experience. Walking into your local bank, you might only walk away with a few limited choices.

Realtors have more resources to help you find the perfect home. Not only with the MLS but many homes are available but not actively advertised in the market, and that might be the perfect home for you.

A Realtors job is not to “sell” you a house, but to provide objective information about each property. With access to a variety of informational resources, we can provide local community information on utilities, zoning, schools, and much more.

A Realtor will make you aware off all time periods to complete inspections and as to which inspections are recommended or required. All while helping you negotiate the different factors that can affect your sale including price, financing, terms, date of possession, and which items to repair/include or not.

I would love to be the Realtor to help guide you through every step of the home buying process, from start to closing.
