Many people wonder whether they should hire a real estate
professional to assist them in buying their dream home or if they should
first try to go it on their own. In today’s market: you need an
experienced professional!
You Need an Expert Guide if you are Traveling a Dangerous Path
The field of real estate is loaded with land mines. You
need a true expert to guide you through the dangerous pitfalls that
currently exist. Finding a home that is priced appropriately and ready
for you to move in to can be tricky. An agent listens to your wants and
needs, and can sift out the homes that do not fit within the parameters
of your “dream home”.
A great agent will also have relationships with mortgage
professionals and other experts that you will need in securing your
dream home.
You Need a Skilled Negotiator
In today’s market, hiring a talented negotiator could save
you thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of dollars. Each step of the
way – from the original offer, to the possible renegotiation of that
offer after a home inspection, to the possible cancellation of the deal
based on a troubled appraisal – you need someone who can keep the deal
together until it closes.
Realize that when an agent is negotiating their commission
with you, they are negotiating their own salary; the salary that keeps a
roof over their family’s head; the salary that puts food on their
family’s table. If they are quick to take less when negotiating for
themselves and their families, what makes you think they will not act
the same way when negotiating for you and your family? If they were
Clark Kent when negotiating with you, they will not turn into Superman
when negotiating with the buyer or seller in your deal.
Bottom Line
Famous sayings become famous because they are true. You
get what you pay for. Just like a good accountant or a good attorney, a
good agent will save you money…not cost you money.
