Find A Professional
A real estate agent like me, who knows the local market well, can help you find and buy your ideal home, and make the entire process go smoothly for you. During a home tour, your agent will give you the inside scoop on that property so you know the full story. Your agent will also point out desirable features and potential issues you might otherwise miss.
When it comes time to make an offer, your real estate agent will present and negotiate it on your behalf. If you don’t have your own real estate agent, you would have to deal directly with the seller’s agent, who is legally obliged to work in the seller’s best interests, not yours.
The best way to select the right real estate agent is to meet with him or her in person, ask questions, and see if they are a good fit. Visit their website, ask for their action plan to find your home, and see if the resources they offer convey the expertise and professionalism you deserve.
