Hiring a Real Estate Agent

You’ve finally found the house of your dreams. You’ve saved up enough money over the years and are ready to move in tomorrow. The only problem now is, you need to sell your old house before you can move into the new one. You have a couple of options: you could try to sell it on your own OR you can hire a real estate agent to help you out. First, let’s talk about what a real estate agent does.realestateagent-70.jpg

Realtors, Real Estate Agents & Real Estate Brokers

The main job of a “real estate broker” is to act as an intermediary between those people who are selling homes and those buying homes or real estate. In the United States, these real estate brokers have sales assistants referred to as “real estate agents” who further assist people who are selling their homes by marketing their property to the public and trying to sell it at the highest price possible so as to gain the most profit.

 Realtors, on the other hand, are those people who belong to the National Association of Realtors, which is North America’s largest trade association involved in all aspects of residential and commercial real estate. To be a realtor, you must have a state license to practice. Realtors are typically held to a higher standard of a code of ethics, which helps to set them apart from other licensees.

Some of the top reasons to hire a real estate agents include:

  1. Education and experience
  2. Agents act as a buffer to filter out serious buyers
  3. Knowledge about neighborhood and market
  4. Price guidance
  5. Negotiation skills and confidentiality
  6. Knows the right questions to ask
