Don't you deserve personal, preferential, reliable & confidential treatment?

1. Education & Experience   Henry Ford once said that when you hire people who are smarter than you are, it proves you are smarter than they are.

2. Agents are Buffers    Agents take the spam out of your property showings and visits.

  3. Neighborhood Knowledge    Agents either possess intimate knowledge or they know where to find the industry buzz about your neighborhood. They can identify comparable sales and hand these facts to you, in addition to pointing you in the direction where you can find more data on schools, crime or demographics.                  

4. Price Guidance   Contrary to what some people believe, agents do not select prices for sellers or buyers. However, an agent will help to guide clients to make the right choices for themselves.

   6. Professional Networking Real estate agents network with other professionals, many of whom provide services that you will need to buy or sell. Due to legal liability, many agents will hesitate to recommend a certain individual or company over another, but they do know which vendors have a reputation for efficiency, competency and competitive pricing.

7. Negotiation Skills & Confidentiality  Top producing agents negotiate well because, unlike most buyers and sellers, they can remove themselves from the emotional aspects of the transaction and because they are skilled. It's part of their job description.

8. Handling Volumes of Paperwork   One-page deposit receipts were prevalent in the early 1970s. Today's purchase agreements run 10 pages or more. That does not include the federal- and state-mandated disclosures nor disclosures dictated by local custom. Most real estate files average thicknesses from one to three inches of paper. One tiny mistake or omission could land you in court or cost you thousands. 

 9. Answer Questions After Closing  Even the smoothest transactions that close without complications can come back to haunt.  Worthy and honest agents don't leave you in the dust to fend for yourself.

10. Develop Relationships for Future Business  The basis for an agent's success and continued career in real estate is referrals. Few agents would survive if their livelihood was dependent on consistently drumming up new business. This emphasis gives agents strong incentives to make certain clients are happy and satisfied. It also means that an agent who stays in the business will be there for you when you need to hire an agent again.
