Buyers: Your Real Estate Agent to the Rescue

January 27th, 2020 by Counselor Realty

Real Estate Agent to the Rescue - Counselor Realty

What do real estate agents actually do? This is a common question of many first-time home buyers and sellers. If you think all an agent does is act as a middleman between the property owner and prospective buyer, then you'll be surprised at just how many more valuable services they provide to their clients. Our real estate agents know that real estate tractions can be confusing for those unexperienced in these sales. Here are ten things that a real estate agent can assist buyers and sellers with.

Home Inspectors
Every home will require an inspection and your real estate agent knows exactly who to call. To ensure that both seller and buyer are protected, your real estate agent will pair you with a knowledgeable inspector who will conduct a thorough assessment of the home.
Contractors
In the event that the seller or buyer desires renovations or repairs on the home, your real estate agent can help you secure licensed, insured and bonded contractors who can complete the necessary work on your home. Your agent will make sure that the contractor or company has a great local reputation and charges reasonable fees for services and parts.
Appraisers
Each property will also need to be professionally appraised and this is another contact your real estate agent can set you up with. These individuals will responsibly evaluate the home and give it a fair appraisal value that aligns with current market averages.
Movers
While you may be excited to move into a new home, few families look forward to physically moving their belongings from place to place. Let your real estate agent help you take one more responsibility off of your plate by connecting you with local movers. These companies will quickly yet carefully move your possessions from one home to another, allowing you to focus on unpacking and decorating.
Real Estate Attorneys
A real estate attorney is an important asset and it's vital to find a local lawyer who can draft a thorough contract. Your real estate agent will help you find proper representation for your real estate transaction.
Mortgage Brokers
You'll likely need to secure a home loan and your real estate agent will be happy to help. They'll match you with a mortgage broker who can tend to your needs, especially buyers who may be eligible for federal loan programs.
Agent Referrals
If you're selling your home and moving out of the area, your real estate agent can match you with another agent in your new town. This ensures that you begin the next chapter of your life with a friendly resource.
Manage Rental Properties
Real estate agents aren't just resources for buyers and sellers — they're a set of helping hands for those who invest in rental properties, too. If you decide to rent your current property, let your real estate agent help you find qualified renters who will care for your home like it's their own!
Secure Temporary Housing
If you're simultaneously buying and selling a home, you might find yourself without a residence for a short period of time. Thankfully, your real estate agent can swiftly find you a temporary place to live until you've secured your permanent home.
Represent Your Best Interests
Most importantly, your real estate agent will be an advocate for your needs. They'll put your best interests first and negotiate on your behalf to ensure your transactions are as stress-free as possible.
