REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH A REALTORŪ

Not all real estate practitioners are REALTORSŪ. The term REALTORSŪ is a registered trademark that identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORSŪ and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics. Here's why it pays to work with a REALTORŪ:

  • Navigate a complicated process
    •  Buying or selling a home usually requires disclosure forms, inspection reports, mortgage documents, insurance policies, deeds, and multipage settlement statements. A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best deal, and avoid delays or costly mistakes.

  • Negotiating skills
    •  There are many negotiating factors, including but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession, and inclusion or exclusion of repairs, furnishings, or equipment. In addition, the purchase agreement should provide a period of time for you to complete appropriate inspections and investigations of the property before you are bound to complete the purchase. Your agent can advise you as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or required.

  • Property marketing power
    •  Real estate doesn't sell due to advertising alone. In fact, a large share of real estate sales comes as the result of a practitioner's contacts through previous clients, referrrals, friends, and family. When a property is marketed with the help of a REALTORŪ, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Your REALTORŪ will generally prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.

  • Experience
    •  Most people buy and sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in betweeen each purchase. Even if you have done it before, laws and regulations change. REALTORSŪ, on the other hand, handle hundreds of real estate transactions over the course of their career. Having an expert on your side is critical.

  • Objective voice
    •  A home often symbolizes family, rest and security - it's not just four walls and a roof. Because of this, homebuying and selling can be an emotional undertaking. And for most people, a home is the biggest purchase they'll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you stay focused on both the emotional and financial issues most important to you.

    DOES MOVING UP MAKE SENSE?
    1. Have you built substantial equity in your current home?
    2. Has your income or financial situation improved?
    3. Have you outgrown your neighborhood?
    4. Are there reasons why you can't remodel or add on?
    5. Are you comfortable moving in the current housing market?
    6. Are interest rates attractive?

    These questions will help you decide whether you're ready for a home that's larger or in a more desirable location. If you answer yes to most of the questions, it's a sign that you may be ready to move.
