If you are considering delving into the housing market, you may be
wondering if you really do need a Realtor. Exactly what does a Realtor
do besides offer advice to clients? An agent or Realtor plays an
important role in the entire process.
Basically, a Realtor will
start by listing a property or looking at properties that are available.
In some cases, only Realtors can look at certain properties. Only Realtors can list a property as well. Realtors can also schedule
showings of the home and take prospective buyers or renters around the
property. In addition, they can provide valuable feedback after the home
showings. For this reason, a Realtor is worth the investment.
Another
thing to keep in mind is that Realtors are very familiar with the local
real estate market as well as the different buyers and sellers in the
area. They may also know of other Realtors that are looking for certain
types of properties, or know of Realtors who have clients that wish to
rent a home. In other words, your Realtor can do the networking
necessary to make the connections you need to sell, buy or rent your
home. Because this can take quite a bit of time, many buyers and sellers
elect to hire a professional to do these tasks.
If other
professionals are needed, like an attorney or contractors, a realtor can
also make recommendations. A Realtor can also make suggestions about
things that will be necessary in order to sell or rent a home. For
example, a fresh coat of paint or new flooring in the kitchen.
So the next time you think you might need a Realtor, you probably do.
