With so much information readily available online, it makes sense for clients to sometimes wonder, “Why should we hire a real estate agent?” While a few may manage on their own, here’s why you should hire a professional:

Save time - No need to take the time figuring out what to do... allow a local and
educated real estate agent do what they’re trained to. A professional will not only navigate a situation but all of the paperwork as well.

Protection - Your agent will keep other agents from trying to undercut you and their knowledge of contracts is invaluable.

Negotiation - A professional knows how to decipher and negotiate contracts and situations.

Market knowledge - Your agent has intimate access to current market analyses. Additionally, they can complete a Comparative Market Analysis on the property you choose to help you determine the right price to offer.

Relationship - The best agents want referrals and to work with you again. They will treat you the very best they can even after closing.

Immediate access to information - Use your agent’s website to guarantee what you’re getting is current and accurate.

Resources - A professional will have a network of other trusted professionals, such as mortgage officers, title and escrow agents, and will also have relationships with other agents in the area which can help get you closer to a winning situation.
