Why an Experienced Real Estate Agent

is Worth Her Weight in Gold!

If you’ve never purchased a home yourself (or it’s been a number of year since you have), it may seem tempting to “go it alone” – choosing to not hiring a real estate agent guide you through the path to homeownership.

That would be a B I G mistake!

Because an experienced real estate agent makes her job look so easy, many people underestimate all that she does to best serve her clients.

Here are 3 reasons why hiring a savvy, passionate & experienced real estate professional will save you money, time (and a whole lot of stress):

1. Access to Listings Before They Hit the Market.
Think Zillow is the be-all-end all? Absolutely NOT true! A connected & savvy agent knows her market AND is a trusted colleague of agents in the region and, as a result, she becomes aware of hot properties even BEFORE they hit the market. (That’s particularly important in today’s “seller’s market.”) Don’t trust to a computer what only a person can do expertly.

2. Skilled Negotiation Skills.
Real estate negotiation is an art unto itself. It’s not like any ordinary contract. When you submit an offer you want the guidance of someone who knows the nuances of a transaction. To get the job done. Don’t leave to chance this all-important bid for your dream home!

3. An Eye on the Details (so you don’t have to worry).
In any transaction there are deadlines to meet. If you miss them, it could mean you either lose the house you want or get “stuck” in a house you don’t. Only an experienced agent can ensure you don’t make a bad decision.

Here are some tips to help you prep your house or property to get ready for listing it with a Realtor ® in the CC-V district. First look at your home through the eyes of potential buyers. I am not talking about the personal effects in your home (yet). I mean what are some projects you have on the honey do list that keep getting put off? Maybe you need to chalk your windows? Or perhaps fix up that back room to a spare room. The little projects you have been putting off might not seem like they would make a world of difference but to a buyer, they do. That is one less thing they must worry about when looking for a home. The house or property with the least amount of work that needs to be done is the winner 9 times out of 10. Unless it is an investor or a house flipper. Second, declutter is a must. Now while you are packing to move yourself you will ...
