Whether you want to buy, sell or lease a home, you want the best possible results with the least amount of hassle and aggrevation.
What to Expect from a Realtor
A REALTOR will not take it for granted that you know all the in’s and out’s of the buying/ selling process. Instead, he or she will provide you with a full explanation of what to expect and that’s important so you’re not faced with any surprises along the way.
An Assessment of Your Needs
One of the first questions a REALTOR will ask is, Why are you moving? A REALTOR will also explore any time constraints you may have (perhaps imposed by the need to relocate for employment), your financial situation and any future plans.
A Plan to Find Your Dream Home
A REALTOR will help you identify what you want in your new residence. A pool? A garage? An extra room? A particular building design? What about the neighborhood? Proximity to schools, to work? A REALTOR will compare your needs, wants and budget and match your needs with what is available on the market and make recommendations to save you time and effort.
He or she will also accompany you as you view houses and help you assess their suitability and price. As an expert on a property, a REALTOR can provide facts on the neighborhoods and schools and other important information to help you make a informed decision.
In other words, he or she will work with you to achieve your dream.
Access to Properties for Sale
Multiple Listing Service or MLS is an exclusive service accessible only through a REALTOR and it can be a valuable tool. Through MLS, the details of a wide variety of listed properties are made available to the REALTOR you work with. That can save you a tremendous amount of time and effort in your hunt for the right home.
If you are interested in learning about what is available on the market please check out my Listings page, which enables you to preview the properties I have for sale.
Knowledge of Financing Options
REALTORS have extensive knowledge of the financing choices available to home buyers and there options and obtaining financing at the most attractive prevailing rates and terms.
A Skilled Negotiator
REALTORS are experienced in arranging fair deals. He or she will assist in negotiating an offer, acting as a mediator or head off potential conflicts between you and the seller, and draw up a legally binding agreement.
Honest and Integrity
Most real estate professionals in our city/state are members of the Greater Dallas Association Of Realtors (GDAR) and National Association Of Realtors (NAR) and only members of GDAR/NAR can call themselves REALTORS.
When you work with a REALTOR, you can expect not only strict adherence to State and City laws, but also adherence to a Code of Ethics. And that code is very important to you because it assures you will receive the highest level of service, honesty and integrity.
Highest Professional Standards
Before receiving a real estate license, candidates must successfully complete an extensive course of study developed by the Texas Real Estate Commission. That is only the beginning: every year of practice, licensees are required to successfully complete Mandatory Education courses as part of their articling with an experienced broker. In addition, all licensees must continue to attend courses throughout their careers in order to maintain their license.
