• Why Hire an Agent During the Buying Process?

Buying a property is no easy feat. There are several moving parts when it comes to purchasing any sort of home. One of the biggest challenges that buyers face when buying without an agent, is the lack of available listings. Real estate agents have access to the MLS®, which is a database of homes for sale that are only accessible to agents. During market conditions when inventory is low, this can limit your options. Thus, preventing you from uncovering your dream home! Furthermore, if you’re a first-time buyer or you have little experience buying/selling real estate, hiring an agent is in your best interest. Without the help of a REALTOR®, you could be missing out on key market knowledge. Real estate agents have a strong grasp of the local market. This expertise is critical when it comes to spotting opportunities, negotiating and finding your dream home. 

• Why Hire an Agent During the Selling Process?

In today’s climate, having a trusted REALTOR® to rely on when selling your home is ideal. As marketing your listing becomes increasingly more important, a real estate agent can help ensure that your property doesn’t go stale on the market. A seller’s agent has all of the tools and resources to make your home stand out amongst others. Not only this, but, they will handle the often stressful planning of open houses, scheduling showings, providing tours and answering questions about the property. When a prospective buyer makes an offer, they’ll be able to negotiate the terms and advise you on the merit of their offer. Once the deal is ready to be finalized, a seller’s agent will be there to help with paperwork and ensure a smooth closing process.
