5 Reasons To Hire A Real Estate Agent

Would you consider hiring a real estate agent?

👉 Henry Ford once said that it proves that you’re smarter than they are when you hire people who are smarter than you. Here’s why:

1. It’s All About Closing The Deal: A 2017 study indicated that FSBOs (For Sale By Owner) fetched about 30% less for their owners than agent-listed properties 🤝

2. Attention To Detail: Purchase agreements alone can top 10 pages in 2019, not to mention federal, state, and local document requirements. Luckily, your agent will be far more familiar with all this paperwork than you are 📃

3. Privacy And Confidentiality: Your real estate agent has your back whether you’re a buyer or a seller. They legally obligated to put their clients’ best interests first 👩‍💼

4. Agents Know What You’re Looking For: Buyers usually have a pretty firm idea in mind of what they want in a property, but your agent will be alert for issues that might not cross your mind, such as furnace issues, leaks, roofing problems, and mold and insect issues 🔎

5. Agents Have Superior Negotiating Skill: You might not be a negotiation shark if you don’t happen to be an attorney, mediator, union rep…or a real estate agent 🗣️
