Why Working With a Real Estate Agent Benefits You

A full-time Realtor works hard for their clients! Working with a licensed agent can greatly help with any real estate transaction & heres why:

1. Real Estate Agents handle all of the paperwork, so you dont have to (and there is A LOT of paperwork)

2. Save you time! Handling your transaction SHOULD be your Realtors full-time job

3. Real Estate Agents help you navigate the legal requirements of buying & selling a home

4. Agents are bound by LAW to act as your fiduciary agent

5. Realtors will guide you every step of the way so nothing gets missed & to ensure that the transaction goes smoothly

6. Agents understand negotiations and set aside their emotions to get the deal done

7. Overall, Realtors are experts. Agents have experience in representing both Buyers & Sellers. As a Realtor, I work hard to get my clients properties sold & in getting homes under contract in ways that benefit you, based on current market conditions.

As a Seller specifically...

1. Agents will help you sell your home, while helping you find your next home

2. Realtors will help you prepare your home to maximize your net profits, by providing staging & professional photography

3. Save you time by screening buyers, ensuring their offers credibility, showing your property, and overall acting as your liaison

As a Seller, another thing to keep in mind is that almost 50% of people selling without an agent, end up closing at a lower sales price. Homes listed on the market with an agent, sell for 18% more on average, than For Sale By Owner homes.

Outside of selling for more, its beneficial for sellers to list their home on the MLS with an agent because 87% of buyers bought their home using a Realtor AND 88% of buyers would use their Realtor again or recommend them to someone else.

As a Buyer specifically...
1. Agents help you navigate the market and provide expert insight to assist you in getting your offer accepted

2. Home showings are easily scheduled & fixed around your schedule
3. Realtors are knowledgeable about various neighborhoods and the markets surrounding those communities

A Real Estate Agents job is to help those who are buying or selling their home (even Renters & Landlords)!
