How Can a Real Estate Agent Help Me?
Eight Important Questions to Ask Your Agent
Real estate professionals offer many advantages:

• They have oversight from brokers and state licensing officials
• Their job is to advise you in the best way to reach your goals
• They have the most accurate data sources – the MLS, the only data repository that has the most up-to-date listing and sales information
• They know how to negotiate
• They know how to present your home and deal with buyers
• They have experience with the market and local neighborhoods
• They know how and where to market properties
• They know the best resources to make transactions go more smoothly, from bankers to home stagers to contractors
• They know how to overcome challenges and typical snags that occur in all real estate transactions and closings
• Their continuing education keeps them up-to-date on housing issues

When you are ready to purchase a home, you have to make the time to do all the jobs a real estate professional would do, and spend many hours on research that a professional is already educated on and has access to. If you feel it requires more knowledge and experience than you have, you can’t go wrong by hiring a well-respected real estate professional!
