Why Use a REALTOR® When Buying a Home?

If you are thinking of making a home purchae you are thinking of making probably the largest purchase so far in your life. That's a big deal! When making large purchases or big decisions most people like to get the best professional help possible.


A real estate agent can help you understand everything you need to know about the home buying process... from looking at homes, to making the offer, to having the inspections and negotiating the repairs all the way to closing. Most buyers, especially first time buyers would like someone is can answer their questions knowledgable and be available during reasonable times.


Transactions today usually average about $250,000. If you had a $250,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a certified professional accountant? If you had a $250,000 legal question, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney? Considering the small upside cost and the large downside risk, it would be wise to work with a professional REALTOR® when you are buying a home.


Not all real estate licensees are the same; only those who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® are properly called REALTORS®. They proudly display the REALTOR " ®" trademark on their business cards and other marketing and sales literature.


REALTORS® are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. REALTORS® subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. An independent survey reported that 84% of home buyers would use the same REALTOR® again.

I have a system for my buyers and on-line programs to help you determine what home is right for you. I'd love to be of help... I'm just a call or email away!
