Get a Realtor!

You might be very business savy, but you need a professional translator to help you through the home-buying maze! You may buy a house once every 7 years, but we are in the process daily. Why do you need a Realtor?
1. A good Realtor is conversant on real estate law and has access to contracts and disclosures.
2. A good Realtor can help buyers determine how much they can afford to spend for a house.
3. A good Realtor can help educate buyers on various neighborhoods, community information on utilities, zoning, schools, etc.
4. A good Realtor knows of other homes that are not in the system yet but would fit your needs.
5. A good Realtor can guide you in the wise investment of a home, perhaps bringing you down from the clouds when it might not be a good investment.
