The Benefits of Using A Real Estate Agent
You may be in the process of Buying or Selling a Home and wondering "What Are The Benefits Of Using A Realtor ®?"
Well, You Must Read This.....
If you were to look up the definition of a Realtor® you may find a definition lacking greatly in all the ways that we define the Many Hats That We Wear. The decision to become a Realtor®, like any other profession, is a very individual one indeed. Sure there are those who go into the Profession because they have heard that money can be made. And there are those who go into it because of the flexibility of work hours.
SO - "What Are The Benefits Of Using A Realtor ®"? Actually, the thought came to my mind today after reading a Blog written by a fellow Active Rain Member. I'm sure our good friend, Rich Jacobson, in the State of Washington, won't mind if we mention him for the sake of this Blog. You see, Rich had written a very touching story in one of his Blogs that exemplified the very essence of What The Benefits Of Using A Realtor® are. The story was a touching one that showed the very human aspect of the ways in which a Realtor® connects to his/her clients. When selecting a Realtor®,you'll want to consider the following list of the more obvious benefits.
The Benefits of Using A Real Estate AgentBut Buying and Selling Homes is a "Business of People". We can't help but be connected with the lives of those we spend numerous hours with in search of "HOMES".
We're involved daily with people's life dreams of Homeownership. There are times when that involves happy events like Marriages. But then there are life events such as Divorces that may cause the Sale of a Home. Or tragically, the death of a Loved One can cause the sale of a home. We've sat with clients that were so upset over a loss that they could hardly hold back the tears. We've cried along with more than one client who was either distraught over a life altering event or elated with tears of joy over some happy event.

There are often Children to consider in the search of a Family Home. Schools and Daycare Centers must be explored. Typically young couples bring the children along when searching for a home. We've gotten to know many couples who later sent us the baby pictures of a new Family member after they settled into their new Homes!

We've had more than one Listing with a Seller who needed us to mind the Family Pet in order for the home to be shown.
So in closing, consider this, The Benefits of Using A Realtor® are many. We assist the public in so many of the details that might otherwise be stressful and lonely. The Benefits of Using A Realtor® go beyond the mundane tasks of the business. We're here to share the most precious times of the lives of those we serve. It's with gratitude that we say it's these moments that make it all worthwhile for us. Bringing Families Home and so much more!

It remains an opportune time right now to buy the home of your dreams. 
We are excited at the possibilities available for first time home buyers as well as sellers looking to move up. 
Historically, interest rates have never been this low.
How long will this last?
No one knows for sure, so First Time Home buyers have a wonderful opportunity right now to get a terrific rate on a mortgage.
Either moving up or buying for the first time, now is a great time to make the move to
Home Ownership.

Here is a cool video that a good friend of ours Ned Barber from the PV History Project did a while back.
He was kind enough to give me permission to share this with you.
It is a short 9 minute video of our local towns here in the Pascack Valley region of Bergen County New Jersey.
It has some interesting historical tid bits and facts associated with the area that we love so much.
Enjoy!
