Thinking Of Buying
a Home??...
Why Work With a REALTORŪ?
If you see a home as one of your most important investments, the REALTORŪ you work with
could be one of your most valuable resources. Unlike many real estate agents who are
simply licensed by their state to do business, REALTORSŪ have taken additional steps to
become members of the local board of REALTORSŪ and have agreed to act under and adhere to
a strict Code of Ethics.When
Buying a home, you can benefit from the knowledge and skill of a REALTORŪ...because We're
REALTORSŪ. Real Estate is Our Life.
Behind the Scenes
...
A REALTORŪ can help you determine how much home you can afford. Often a REALTORŪ
can suggest ways to accrue the down payment and explain alternative financing methods
A REALTORŪ, in addition to knowing the local money market, also can tell you what
personal and financial data to bring with you when you apply for a loan.
A REALTORŪ is already familiar with current real estate values, taxes, utility costs,
municipal services and facilities, and may be aware of local zoning changes that could
affect your decision to buy.
A REALTORŪ can usually research
your housing needs in advance through a Multiple Listing Service--even if you are
relocating from another city.
When Showing You a Home ...
A REALTORŪ can show you only those homes best suited to your needs--size, style,
features, location, accessibility to schools, transportation, shopping, and other personal
preferences.
A REALTORŪ often can suggest
simple, imaginative changes that make a home more suitable for you and improve its utility
and value.
A REALTORŪ is sensitive to the
importance you place on this major commitment you are about to make. Look for a real
estate professional to facilitate negotiation of a win-win agreement that will satisfy
both you and the seller. |
