Whether you are buying or selling a home, you may have considered whether or not you should work with a real estate agent. Agents can ultimately save you time and money and can make your selling experience or home search a little more stress-free and effective.
Here are a few reasons why we think using a real estate agent is beneficial:
Finding Available Homes
Sometimes health, divorce, or financial problems factor into the situation and cause a need for privacy. Because of this, there are times when people don’t want to widely publicize their home. So by working with an agent, you have access to homes you may have otherwise missed.
Pricing
The fastest way to sell your home is to price it correctly. If its priced too high, you risk the chance of it becoming a stale listing and if its priced too low, you lose money. Because of this, its important to have someone with an emotional detachment to price your home based strictly off of the specifics.
Paperwork
If you’ve ever bought a home, you understand the tedious task of handling the paperwork that comes with it. The odds of missing a minor detail tremendously drop when working with someone who knows the ins and outs of all the paperwork.
Exposure
From open houses to internet marketing and networking, real estate agents have access to a wide variety of marketing tools that will help expose your home to the masses.
Avoiding Closing Issues
Chances are, if you have any problems at closing, whether it be a financial or title issue, an agent has dealt with it before and will be able to work through any challenges that may come up. Saving you time and frustration.
