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 or costly mistakes.
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 ____ days. And it usually takes
another 60 days or so for the transaction to close after an offer is accepted.
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.
REALTORShave 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.
REALTORS
provide objectivity. Since a home often symbolizes family, rest, and security,
not just four walls and roof, homeselling 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.
