    5 Reasons You Need a REALTOR

    A real estate transaction 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.

    Selling or buying a home is time consuming. Even in a strong market, homes
    in our area stay on the market for an average of ____ days. And it usually
    takes another 60 days or so for the transaction to close after an offer is
    accepted.

    Real estate has its own language. If you don’t know a CMA from a
    PUD, you can understand why it’s important to work with someone who
    speaks that language.

    REALTORS? have done it 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.

    REALTORS? provide objectivity. Since a home often symbolizes family, rest,
    and security, not just four walls and roof, homeselling 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, third party helps
    you keep focused on both the business and emotional issues most important
    to you.

    and integrity.
