5 Reasons for Using A Realtor

For most Americans, buying a home is the most expensive decision that they will ever make.  Buying and Selling real estate is a big deal.  Not only does it affect you financially, it can also have serious emotional affects and having proper representation is important.

Some of the most important reasons why using a Realtor should be at the top of your "To-Do" List when buying or selling a home are:

1.  Financial Responsibility- Your Realtors Fiduciary duty is to you.  Which means that they are there to look out for your financial interests, to help do everything they can to protect you.  They have the knowledge and expertise to help sellers protect their investment and to help buyers build theirs. 

2.  Changing complex regulations - Laws and regulations are constantly changing and even vary from state to state.  People purchase a home every 7-10 years and a lot changes between these transactions.  Realtors have to stay on top of these changes and can put their knowledge to work for you.

3.  Finding the right home - Realtors are immersed with real estate.  Starting your home search online is a great tool and place to start.  Realtors know the pros and cons of the property and area to help you make the right decision.

4.   Pricing and selling a home - Online sites are great to get a guess on home prices.  They are not always accurate and  up-to-date.  Sometimes they are over 12 months old.  The market changes constantly.  Realtors have fresh, precise market and area details and can get you rock solid comparables to help maximize your profit. 

5.  Contract and negotiations -  Contracts are long and complex.  If any changes have to be made after the initial contract, then there are addendums and riders.  Realtors deal with these contracts every day and can help to navigate through them.  They will help buyers create an attractive offer  and help both buyers and sellers negotiate the terms of the contract. 

Of course Realtors do so much more than this list, but these are 5 major reasons to protect your biggest investment.
