A Realtor's Worth

If you're a prospective home buyer, you've probably already discovered that it can be an overwhelming process. Searching for homes without help is difficult, and if it's your first time buying a home, you might not have an idea of where to start. You need a Realtor, because he will make sure that your home buying process runs smoothly and that you don't get scammed by a seller, closing attorney, or other party involved in the process. Home buyers are often easy targets for shady transactions, and even though there are checks and balances imposed by investors Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, there is still great risk involved. Real estate agents can help you find a reputable lender, guide you through the home inspection process, and negotiate a contract that is most beneficial for you. Also, all licensed agents have access to MLS and FMLS, can plug in the features you prefer in a home, and send you several listings at one time. They do all of the prospecting for you, allowing you to focus on your other obligations. The best part of contracting a Realtor is that you don't pay for their services out of your own pocket. They are paid from the seller proceeds when you close on a home.
