\"Why<\/p>\n

Many people wonder whether they should hire a real estate professional to assist them in buying their dream homes or if they should first try to go through the buying process on their own. In today\u2019s market: you need an experienced professional!<\/span><\/p>\n

You Need an Expert Guide If You Are Traveling a Dangerous Path<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The field of real estate is loaded with landmines; you need a true expert to guide you through the dangerous pitfalls that currently exist. Finding a home that is priced appropriately and is ready for you to move into can be tricky. An agent listens to your wants and needs<\/a>, and can sift through the homes that do not fit within the parameters of your \u201cdream home.\u201d<\/p>\n

A great agent will also have relationships with mortgage professionals and other experts that you will need in order to secure your dream home.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You Need a Skilled Negotiator<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In today\u2019s market, hiring a talented negotiator could save you thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of dollars. Each step of the way \u2013 from the original offer to the possible renegotiation of that offer after a home inspection, to the possible cancellation of the deal based on a troubled appraisal \u2013 you need someone who can keep the deal together until it closes.<\/p>\n

Realize that when an agent is negotiating his or her commission with you, they are negotiating their own salary; the salary that keeps a roof over their family\u2019s head; the salary that puts food on their family\u2019s table. If they are quick to take less when negotiating for themselves and their families, what makes you think they will not act the same way when negotiating for you and your family?<\/p>\n

If they were Clark Kent when negotiating with you, they will not turn into Superman when negotiating with the buyer or seller in your deal.<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Famous sayings become famous because they are true. You get what you pay for. Just like a good accountant or a good attorney, a good agent will save you money\u2026not cost you money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
