FIND A REAL ESTATE AGENT OR REALTOR®

While you might want to do some looking on your own, whether you’re browsing online or looking at listings or attending open houses, most home buyers find value in working with a real estate agent or REALTOR®.

Not only can they help scout out prospective homes, but they can provide expert knowledge on the market. Their expertise can help guide you on:

​

• Whether an asking price is appropriate

• Sizing up the pros and cons of homes

• Which are the up-and-coming Neighborhoods

• The mortgage and Pre-approval process

• Negotiations and bidding wars

• Paperwork and the Closing Process

​

A good agent is imperative to guiding home buyers through many of the later steps on the home buying checklist. They are the ones on your side, watching out for your best interest – all of which helps take the stress off you and help you manage your emotions.
