Why work with a Realtor?
8 Reasons to Use a Realtor to Help You Find a Home
It's true you can search for homes by yourself, online via various real estate websites. You can even attend open houses to see properties in person. But did you know that when you step into an open house, the Realtor that is hosting that open house represents the seller of that home? Therefore, they are looking out for the sellers best interests, NOT yours!
You need to have your own representative who is on your side and represents your best interests in the transaction.

Here are a few more reasons to have a Realtor help you with your home search:
Education and Experience: Realtors are professionals and have been specifically educated and have experience with the complexities of the business. They are also required to maintain additional continuing education each year.
Price Guidance: Realtors have access to market data and also have the tools to analyze this data so that you can be confident that the home you are purchasing is priced appropriately before making an offer.
Market Conditions: Realtors may have information pertaining to market trends that may or may not affect your purchase.
Professional Networking: A Realtor’s network is extensive and may provide you with opportunities to find a property not listed on MLS.
Negotiating Skills: Realtors are skilled negotiators and will make sure that you receive the best terms within your purchase contract.
Confidentiality: A Realtor is bound by a strict code of ethics and is your trusted advisor. In addition to confidentiality, these duties include loyalty, disclosure, obedience, reasonable care and diligence, and accounting.
Handling volumes of paperwork: A typical real estate transaction can have dozens of different forms and knowing how to execute these forms is crucial to a successful transaction.
And the best for last… It’s FREE! You do not pay for a Realtor to represent you when you purchase a home. Your Realtor gets paid when you successfully close on the purchase. The commission is paid by the seller of the home.
