Deciding on buying or selling your current home is a BIG decision. It is something that takes a lot of thought and reflection – and, for some, it can be scary to think about going through the whole arduous procedure alone. But, we’ve got some good news! It isn’t something you have to go through alone – real estate agents, just like The Headley Group Realty, are here to support you every step of the way! Why should I get a real estate agent?

Why shouldn’t I just try and sell my home by myself? These questions often come up for many homebuyers and sellers. And, of course, you unquestionably can sell your home and shop for your new home by yourself – but, should you? What benefits are there for you to use a real estate agent? Take a look at why using a real estate agent benefits you!

1. A Realtor can direct you to competent lenders that won’t gloss over the truth just to make a deal. When you work with a Realtor®, their fiduciary responsibility is to you. That means you have an expert who is looking out for your best financial interests, an expert who’s contractually bound to do everything in their power to protect you. That’s big — the value of that commitment cannot be overstated. “Realtors® have subscribed to the NAR’s strict Code of Ethics as a condition of membership.”

2. Realtors are so invaluable throughout the entire process and I mean that with all sincerity especially a regards location. A lot of wonderful homes are now located in extremely bad areas of town that will most likely not get any better. Realtors® are immersed in real estate, and they must stay current with all the updates in regulations, laws, contracts and practices. Once you retain your Realtor®, they put that knowledge to work for you.

3. Realtors who care, tell their city and will take care to help you not pick a home that will either be dangerous or have no future resale value.  We are not allowed to categorize in any way, but are also required to give our utmost care to our clients. Your Realtor® can go beyond the aesthetics and tell you important details about homes you’re considering.

4. Hit list, fundamentally there are a few really big items that matter to people: bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen placement, pool, and yard. Realtors® know the local market, have access to the freshest sale data, and can price your house in line with the market to maximize your earnings.

5. Realtors do is help you prioritize and then find you that home instead of looking at all the homes that don’t work for you. It won’t do any good to look at 2 bed/1 bath homes if you need 4 bed/3 bath. Make Sense? Your Realtor® can go beyond the aesthetics and tell you important details about homes you’re considering.
