A fish is an expert at swimming. A bird is an expert at
flying. A realtor is an expert at buying/selling homes. The internet has the world believing they are
experts at everything. The Do-It-Yourself era has made people forget the need
for experts. You wouldn’t cut your own hair or perform your own surgery. You’d
have the job done by a professional. So when it comes to real estate, there are
many reasons to hire a professional. Some benefits include but are not limited to:
·
They provide and assist with the legal paper
work necessary. Disclosures, legal forms, contracts and laws that must be
followed to avoid lawsuits frequent in the real estate industry. A realtor is
insured to protect against errors and omissions.
·
They are educated and experienced in the entire
sales process. They view homes every day so they can easily determine market
value. Preventing sellers from over pricing due to sentimental value and
sitting on the market, and buyers from purchasing an overpriced property.
·
They act as a buffer between all parties in
negotiations. Sellers want top dollar. Buyers want to pay the lowest price
possible. A professional realtor helps the two come to a compromise so all
parties walk away satisfied.
·
They get your home maximum exposure. From lawn
signs, inter office promoting, multiple listing service, and many other
powerful tools available to realtors.
·
They screen the tire kickers. A realtor pre
qualifies a buyer before showing them homes. They have a copy of their ID and
know their financial status. Selling your own home subjects you to endless
calls and unannounced visits.
A real estate sales professional is paid solely based on
their efforts, so they only get paid once the job is complete. Getting the job
done to your satisfaction is the main objective. If the deal doesn’t close no
one is happy. Why not leave the hard work for the professionals
