In the Internet age, when new real estate listings are being thrown online every day, does it even matter which realtor to use… or even if you use one at all?
This is a question some home buyers may be asking themselves. The short answer is that yes, a realtor can make your search for a new home faster, easier, and less frustrating. In fact, finding the right realtor can be the first step towards locating the perfect property for your needs and budget.
There are a number of ways a good realtor can help you find the home you’re looking for:
We Know Neighborhoods
Looking at online listings is fun, but they don’t give you a lot of context. Even if you use tools like Google maps and street view, it’s hard to tell what kind of neighborhood a property is located in. And, as any good realtor could tell you, finding the right neighborhood is almost as important as locating the right house.
A great realtor can help you evaluate things like safety, schools, and even culture or commute times. Unless you already know the neighborhood you’re moving into very well, this is one area where a realtor can be a huge help.
We Can Help You Find What You Want Faster…
Part of the problem with searching through properties online is that there are just so many of them. The resulting “information overload” can actually slow your search for a new home down. That’s especially true if you’re looking based on broad criteria, like price, home size, or ZIP Codes.
With experience helping others to find their dream homes, a good realtor can quickly and conveniently narrow your search, showing you only properties that are likely to be good candidates for you and filtering out the rest.
… And Help You Understand What You Need
A lot of home buyers come to us knowing what they want, but not necessarily what they need. Part of buying a house involves looking into the future, however, and anticipating needs and desires that might not be immediately apparent. As you might imagine, this is something an experienced realtor can help with.
We know how to ask the questions that hint at your future plans and uncover preferences you might not even be aware you had. Let us use our expertise to go deeper towards helping you find the perfect property.
A Realtor Can Help With Negotiating Purchase Prices
Even though you’ll always make the final call on things like offers and amounts, it’s good to have a realtor who knows the market, the home pricing trends, and even other realtors. That’s because they can often give advice on what kinds of offers are likely to be accepted, and how much competition you may or may not be facing to buy a given property.
