5 Reasons You Need a REALTOR®
Posted by Cary_Agent
1. Real estate transactions can be very complicated. There is a lot of paperwork involved that you may not have knowledge of such as disclosure forms, inspection reports, insurance policies, deeds, mortgage documents, and multi-page government mandated settlement statements. A realtor can be a very knowledgeable guide to avoid the complexity of all these transactions. 
2. Even in this strong market, selling or buying a home can be very time consuming. Many homes stay on the market for many days or even months. It also takes an additional 60 days or so for the transaction to close after an offer is accepted.
3. The language of real estate is complex and difficult to understand if you have no experience. If you don’t know what a CMA or a PUD is then you can understand why it is important to work with someone who does.
4. REALTORS® have done it all before whereas you may have just bought and sold a house just a few times in your life. Also, because there are a few years in between each you may not be aware of new laws and regulations. Having an expert on your side to update you on these laws is crucial when you are making the biggest purchase of your life.
5. REALTORS® provide objectivity when you might not have any. A home purchase is often more than just four walls and the roof to you. It symbolizes family and security. It is more emotional for you whereas a third party such as a realtor can look at everything objectively and keep you focused on the business side of the deal.
