Importance of a Local Real Estate Agent
You wouldn ’ t undergo surgery without a surgeon , or do a root canal without a dentist , so why would you buy or sell a house without a real estate agent ? Agents have in-depth knowledge of local communities , an insider ’ s view of the real estate market , and early access into listings that go on the market . By having a real estate agent on your team , you can take full advantage of these perks when trying to buy or sell a home !
Moving into a new community ? A real estate agent is familiar with the lay of the land — from what the neighborhood is like , to the local hotspots . He / she will be able to guide you in the decision that best fits your ideal location and wish list . Making a move into a new neighborhood or town with kids makes a real estate agent even more necessary . Agents can provide an inside look into school districts , sports teams and available extra-curricular activities that could be a game-changer for you and your family .
Having an agent as an insider into all things local is just one benefit . With access to other real estate professionals , such as mortgage lenders , home inspectors , attorneys and title companies , agents are valuable in streamlining the process of making a transaction . They also have access to the multiple listing service ( MLS ) to provide you with information on available homes . Access to the MLS is restricted to licensed agents and brokers , providing them with a wealth of knowledge that they can then pass along to you . This includes information that sellers don ’ t necessarily list on public sites , such as square footage , seller disclosures and HOA regulations .
Armed with facts from the MLS , including comparable listings in the area , real estate agents can negotiate on your behalf . They are able to develop an offer that reflects market value , while still staying within certain budgetary guidelines . Once these offers are reviewed , agents can make recommendations from inspections on repair costs and how to appropriately counter an offer .
If you are in the market to buy or sell , start by doing some research on a real estate agency that is right for you . Have new neighbors ? Ask who their agents were . They obviously did a good job of selling your neighborhood to buyers . If referrals aren ’ t available , look for a local office in your neighborhood or in the neighborhood where you ’ re interested in moving . The agency can offer guidance and support throughout the entirety of your home buying or selling process .
