BUYING A HOME?
Here’s How a Realtor® is of Service to YOU!
A
Realtor
has a list of available properties in various neighborhoods and in different price ranges, and works closely with other Realtors in sharing information about what properties are available.
A
Realtor
is familiar with each house he or she offers for sale and, in most cases, has personally inspected the property.
Because a
Realtor
knows your financial position, your basic needs and desires, he or she will only show you homes that “fit the bill.” He or she will not waste your time on properties you can’t afford or would not be interested in.
A
Realtor
knows real estate values, can recommend homes that will fit your budget, and will answer all questions concerning zoning, the neighborhood, schools, churches, shopping centers and transportation.
A
Realtor
knows the tax structure of the communities he or she services and can intelligently answer questions such as cost of maintenance and utilities.
A
Realtor
does not have personal ties or fond memories concerning the property. He or she will answer all questions objectively, pointing out any defects or advantages in a particular home.
A
Realtor
is familiar with local lending institutions, knows how much down payment will be required, what the approximate monthly payments and closing costs will be.
A
Realtor
will work closely with you, showing you every available property that meets your specifications. He or she will never “high pressure” you into buying something that you’re not completely satisfied with.
Once you select the home you want, a
Realtor
will help to guide you through the complex maze of title evidence and other legal documents to help protect your interest and investment.
A
Realtor
operates under a strict Code of Ethics enforced by the National Association of Realtors®, assuring you the most competent, professional and ethical performance available.
