What is the value of having a bonafide REALTOR on your side- somebody who will look after your best interest.

Some people can and do it alone when buying or selling homes. But particularly for first time buyers, the value of an experienced REALTOR is immeasurable. A REALTOR’s role extends far beyond just finding a buyer, or a nice house in a good neighborhood. In many cases, you REALTOR is there to provide a title ownership check with the Register of Deeds to find out if the title is authentic and/or if it is mortgaged, or has any liens or encumbrances. At times, a REALTOR is there to handle the tough negotiations involved before closing. Most real estate transactions are never easy and requires a seasoned and experienced REALTOR.

Here is a list of expertise of a REALTOR as formulated by Courtney Roman in the Realty Times on June 21, 2000:

*Advertising properties both to other Realtors and prospective buyers on the MLS, as well as through other local and regional media;
*Creating marketing strategies to sell properties, based on accurate information and research about each property;
*Offering recommendations and information about various neighborhoods and properties that fit within a buyer’s price range and individual preferences and lifestyle needs;
*Drawing up an estimate of the market value of the seller’s home
*Drawing up the contract and negotiating its terms;
*Providing guidance to buyers seeking financing;
*Coordinating appraisals;
*Assisting the Seller/Buyer in the securing documents required for sale;
*Coordinating details of the closing day.

A REALTOR can eliminate a lot of the legwork involved in finding a suitable home. A REALTOR would have access to a lot of properties on his PROPERTY LISTINGS as well as the listings of his co-REALTORS. An experienced REALTOR would know the local market conditions and would have a list of good priced houses available. He can also advise you against bad investments in questionable and/or unfunded development.

Some prefer to sell their properties on their own so they can avoid paying the broker’s commission. However, if you do not know the real estate laws, if you’re not aware of the current market prices, if you are not aware of the voluminous documentation requirement with the BIR and Register of Deeds, you might wind up paying more than what you saved and wasted time if you had hired a real estate broker to “do the dirty work”. It might have been a small price to pay for your peace of mind knowing that you have a qualified REALTOR doing the work for you.

So…”BE SAFE, DEAL ONLY WITH A REALTOR”!
