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 90 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.

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.

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 every make.
Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you keep focused on both the
business and emotional issues most important to you. |
