1. Education and Experience You don’t need to know everything about buying a selling real estate if you hire a real estate professional who does.
2. Agents are Buffers Agents take the spam out of your property showing and visits. If you’re a buyer of new homes, your agent will whip out her sword and keep the builder’s agents at bay, preventing them from biting or nipping at your heels.
3. Price Guidance Contrary to what some people believe, agents do no select prices for sellers or buyers.
4. Neighborhood Knowledge Agents either possess intimate knowledge or they know where to find the industry buzz about your neighborhood.
5. Market Conditions Information Real estate agents can disclose market conditions, which will govern your selling or buying process. Many factors determine how you will proceed.
6. Professional Networking Real estate agents network with other professionals, many of whom provide services that you will need to buy or sell.
7. Negotiation Skills and Confidentiality Top producing agents negotiate well because, unlike most buyers and sellers, they can remove themselves from the emotional aspects of the transaction and because they are skilled. It’s part of their job description.
8. Handling Volumes of Paperwork One-page deposit receipts were prevalent in the early 1970’s. Today’s purchase agreements run 10+ pages.
9. Answer Questions After Closing Many questions can pop up that were overlooked in the excitement of closing. Good agents stand by ready to assist.
10. Develop Relationships for Future Business The basis for an agent’s success and continued career in real estate is referrals. Information courtesy of Jensen and Company Realtors.
