Home buying is most definitely a process where you want a professional advising you from start to finish.
Successful Buyer’s Agents are continually in and out of homes and have been through the due diligence phase with Buyers many times. This experience has helped your Agent develop an eye for identifying red flags as you initially view a property. Though it may require the expertise of a home inspector or contractor to fully diagnose a problem, your agent can point out various potential issues, whether it be with the condition of the house or issues with the property, that the typical home buyer may not recognize. This can save you a lot of time and unneeded frustration.

Wondering if you should list your home yourself or hire a Real Estate Agent to help you with the process? Selling a home can be a complex process. Between the ever-shifting market, not knowing where to price your home, and the intricate legal paperwork involved, listing your home can be an overwhelming process for both firsttime sellers and those who have sold homes in the past.

It’s a delicate balance that takes data knowledge and experience to find. Working with a local agent is even more important in a dynamic market like we’re experiencing now. The Vining Group will help you get top dollar for your property and not leave money on the table.
