SEVEN REASONS TO WORK WITH A REALTOR

Buying and selling a home can be stressful. You need an agent who is a REALTOR®, a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, by your side. Here’s why:

1 3 5 7

GET THE INSIDE SCOOP. Real estate professionals have access to exclusive neighborhood and property information to make you a smarter buyer or seller.

NAVIGATE A COMPLEX PROCESS. A real estate professional can guide you on forms, disclosures, and the lending process to help you avoid costly mistakes and delays.

BE UP-TO-DATE. You may have bought or sold a home before, but markets and transaction processes are always changing.

SIMPLIFY YOUR SEARCH.

NEGOTIATE LIKE A PRO.

An agent can educate you on current market conditions and help you find homes that match your criteria using local broker marketplaces—known in the business as multiple listing services.

An agent has the expertise to negotiate terms, from price to repairs, on your behalf.

HAVE A TRUSTED ALLY. Your agent can talk you through the pros and cons behind big decisions and share their network of trusted home inspectors, lenders, remodelers, and more.
