PCSing in or out of Tinker AFB, OK - Low interest rates and low housing prices could be the time to sell and buy a new home. Oftentimes, individuals think they can go it alone and save money on real estate commission in the process. However, not having a knowledgeable agent to navigate the process can end up costing you more money. Agents guide the seller/buyer through a complicated process of legalities and emotional hurdles. The agent also negotiates for the buyer and seller to help them make important decisions.
SELLING A HOME:
The agent will meet with the sellers and evaluate the home and property. He/she will do a market analysis to figure out the best price to list the house based on the neighborhood and comparable sales. The agent may make suggestions for repairs or improvements that can help make the home more attractive to buyers. The agent may present a marketing plan that indicates where the home will be advertised. Follow-up feedback can be offered, which may include information the agent receives by making calls to people who viewed the home or by tracking how many potential buyers viewed the home listing.
Whether you are a buyer or seller, or doing both. Your goal is to get the best financial deal on the home-and often that means having a qualified real estate agent in your corner. Those entering the real estate realm may have misconceptions about what's involved. Even experienced home buyers/sellers may have trouble navigating through all the new rules and regulations. Interview the agent and be familiar with his/her level of experience and knowledge in real estate.
Individuals buying or selling a home can certainly do it by themselves, but real estate agents have the knowledge and provide assistance through the myriad steps of the process, helping you to save time and money in the long run.
