Why Hire a Professional Real Estate Agent......
A Winning Combination ~ Jeffrey Noe, RE/MAX Consultant Group, and The Kendle/Ingle Group
This is a question, quite honestly, that we get asked all the time! Below are 10 questions to ask yourself if you are considering buying or selling a home. A real estate transaction is complicated and your answers to these questions will help you determine your own comfort level or whether you'll require the services of a real estate professional.
-
Do you have the time, energy and contacts to do the home search, price negotiations, home inspection, contract preparation and contract review yourself?
-
Do you feel comfortable dealing with contracts and legal issues and do you have access to all the contracts needed?
-
Can you objectively determine the true "fair market value" of a home?
-
Can you support your offer or price with facts of home sales in the neighborhood?
-
Do you have the negotiating skills to help you negotiate your best price and terms?
-
Do you know what to look for when viewing a home? Do you know the tell tale signs a home may have a problem?
-
Do you know if any future highway development, landfill, or commercial development is planned for the area?
-
Do you know what you can request a seller to fix, what a seller is required to fix, and what a seller does not have to fix.
-
Do you know how to handle the situation if you have a home to sell before you can close on your next home?
-
Do you have any formal training or business background in real estate or knowledge of real estate law?
Keep in mind that REALTORS® have done it all before and they do it every day! Most people will buy and sell only a few homes in their lifetime. Even if you have done it before, laws and regulations change. Having an expert on your side is critical. A qualified, competent, full-time, professional real estate agent will help you navigate the myriad of decisions that arise when buying and selling a home.
