Work With A Real Estate Agent 🏡
By: Jerika P – i-Lead Realty Social Media Manager
Hiring a real estate agent to help you buy a home will help you find your dream home faster than searching for it on your own. Here are six reasons why working with an agent will simplify your life.
1. They know hidden property listings
You can search for listings online, but realtors know about many listings on local MLS and off-market listings. According to NAR, 53% of homebuyers have difficulty finding the property they truly desire. Working with a real estate agent will help you find a house that meets your criteria much faster.
2. Educates you on the Homebuying Process
Working with a real estate agent can provide you with information on the purchasing process. They can provide you with insights that will assist you in making decisions throughout the process.
3. Tons of Paperwork
The paperwork is one of the many aspects of the home-buying process that will undoubtedly be a burden. Hiring an agent will relieve you of that burden and save you time when it comes to understanding contracts, especially if you are concerned about the legality of the transaction.
4. Pointing out Problems in a Property
Compared to a buyer who is likely to be in awe at the first look of the house, industry professionals are aware of potential problems. More significant problems include furnace issues, leaks, roofing, etc. They know what to look for to help you save a lot of money in the future.
5. Negotiation Skills
There is no doubt that real estate professionals are well-trained in negotiating and providing you with the best price deal available in the market. They can also negotiate for you other costs such as closing costs, home warranty premiums, and repair costs.
6. Refers to Trusted Professionals
You will most likely work with a mortgage lender, title insurance company, or home inspector during the home buying process, in addition to the real estate agent. Your agent may be able to refer you to their network, saving you a lot of time searching for them online.
