BUYERS' INFORMATION
6 Reasons You Need a REALTOR^®

1.)  A real estate transaction is complicated. In most cases, buying or selling a home requires disclosure forms, inspection reports, mortgage documents, insurance policies, deeds, and multi-page government-mandated settlement statements. A knowledgeable guide through this complexity can help you avoid delays and costly mistakes.

2.)  Selling or buying a home is time consuming. Even in a strong market, homes in our area stay on the market for an average of 60-90 days. And it usually takes another 60 days or so for the transaction to close after an offer is accepted.

3.)  Real estate has its own language. If you don’t know a CMA from a PUD, you can understand why it’s important to work with someone who speaks that language.

4.)  REALTORS^® have done it before. Most people buy and sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each purchase. And even if you’ve done it before, laws and regulations change. That’s why having an expert on your side is critical.

5.)  REALTORS^® provide objectivity. Since a home often symbolizes family, rest, and security, not just four walls and roof, home selling or buying is often a very emotional undertaking. And for most people, a home is the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you keep focused on both the business and emotional issues most important to you.

6.)  REALTORS^® are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS^®, a trade organization of more than 1 million members nationwide. REALTORS^® subscribe to a stringent code of ethics that helps guarantee the highest level of service and integrity.
