Hello. My name is
Bill Cox and I am with Realty Executives of Hickory, North Carolina. I have
been selling homes in the Hickory Metro area for over twenty-five years. One of the most often asked questions that I
receive is, “ Do I really need to use a Realtor?” Well, today, I am going to answer that
question. A Realtor can help in both purchasing and selling Real
Estate.
When purchasing Real Estate, a Realtor will assist you in
finding a qualified mortgage specialist.
A mortgage is one of the most important pieces of the real estate
purchasing process. A mortgage
specialist will determine how much the client can spend and let the client know
the monthly payments. Once the mortgage is secured, a Realtor will assist the
client in the property search. Realtors
are members of the local multiple listing service, which is a database of all
the properties currently listed for sale.
So if a client is looking for a specific school district, a neighborhood
near shopping, a residence outside the city limits, or a property with acreage,
a Realtor can help with these categories and many, many more. After finding the right property, a Realtor can assist the
buyer in negotiating a contract. With a Realtor’s knowledge of the current
market, he or she can make sure the client gets the best deal possible. With the property now under contract, a Realtor can assist
the buyer in finding qualified professionals to investigate and inspect the
property and provide the findings in writing to the client. Finally, a Realtor can assist the buyer in finding a
qualified Real Estate attorney to close the transaction. A Realtor will be
there with you in every step of the purchasing process, from the beginning
until the keys are in your hand.
When selling Real Estate, a Realtor can provide you up-to-date information on what is happening in the market place. A Realtor will have
knowledge of price, financing terms, and conditions of competing properties. A Realtor will market your property to other Real Estate
agents as well as to the public. As a
member of the Multiple Listing Service, A Realtor can share the information
about your property will all the Realtors in the area. With print media and internet, a Realtor will
be able to market your property to the general public. A Realtor can assist the seller in evaluating and
negotiating any offers from potential buyers.
With the Realtor’s knowledge of the marketplace, he or she can aid the
seller in accepting the right offer.
Once the property is under contract, a Realtor can help in
getting the deal closed, even helping to resolve any last minute issues that
may arise.
