5 Reasons You Need a Realtor
/1. A real estate transaction is complicated. In most cases, buying or selling a home requires disclosure forms, inspection and title 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.
2. Selling or buying a home is time consuming. In this tight market, it can take several months before a buyer can find a property he or she likes and can afford, and even sellers may see delays. After buyers and sellers agree on a deal and are in escrow, the escrow period can go for 30, 45, or 60 days.
3. 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.
4. 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. In addition to real estate experience, The Rosenberg Company brings its attorneys' legal backgrounds to the table.
5. 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.
6. Realtors are members of the National Association of Realtors, a trade organization of more than 1 million members nationwide. Realtors subscribe to a stringent code of ethics that helps guarantee the highest level of service and integrity. Our Realtors at the Rosenberg Company are also members of the California Association of Realtors, and the Beverly Hills Association of Realtors, thereby giving us an added connection to the community.
