Things To Consider When Choosing A Realtor:
-
A real estate transaction is complicated. In most cases, buying or selling a home requires disclosure formes, 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.
-
Selling or buying a home is time consuming. Even in a strong market, homes in our area may stay on the market for awhile and it may take 30 days or more for the transaction to close after an offer is accepted.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
