Congratulations! You have taken the first step towards owning your new home by choosing a professional real estate agent. You have made a very wise decision. In using the services of a REALTOR to guide you through the challenging homebuying process, you can be assured that you will receive the best service with much less hassle and anxiety. Your real estate professional:
Helps you determine your wants and needs to find the perfect match between the home that best suits your needs and your budget and buying power.
Keeps your personal tastes and lifestyle in mind when selecting properties to show you.
Finds the properties for sale in your preferred area by the multiple listing computer. Newspaper ads and "For Sale" signs are not always a true reflection of all properties on the market. Your real estate agent always knows what's available at any given time.
Allows you to make your own decisions. A professional agent works for you and respects your opinion. They will not try to force you into a decision you don't feel comfortable with.
Protects your rights. Real estate laws have become increasingly complicated and your Realtor is there to assist you in every way.
Negotiates for you. Once you've found the home you want to buy, your REALTOR will write up your offer and present it to the seller. This gives you the best opportunity to have your contract accepted.
Gets the right price. Your REALTOR is a specialist in your area and knows the market inside out so you will get the best price possible.
Doesn't charge you anything. Your REALTOR'S services are FREE to you - their commission is paid by the seller.
The next step in the homebuying process is to determine the type and size of home you want and need, and to select the area(s) you prefer to look in.
