5 Reasons You Need a REALTOR®

1.  Real Estate 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.

2.  Real Estate is Time Consuming.
     Even in a strong market, homes in our area stay on the market for an average of
     60 days.  And it usually takes another 60 days or so for the transaction to close
     after an offer is accepted.

3.  We're Fluent in "Real Estate Language".
     If you don't know a CMA from an HUD, you can understand why it's important to
     work with someone who speaks the native language.

4.  We're Experienced.
     We have done this 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.

5.  We're Objective.
     REALTORS® provide objectivity as a neutral 3rd party to the transaction.  Since a
     home often symbolizes family, rest, and security, not just four walls and a roof,
     home selling or buying is often a very emotional undertaking.  And for most
     people, a home is the biggest purchase they'll ever make.  Having a concerned,
     but objective, 3rd party helps you keep focused on both the business and
     emotional issues most important to you.
