Why should I use a REALTORÒ?

The purchase of a home is complex and high-risk. It may also be the single most expensive transaction most people will make in their lifetimes. Use the one tool that can help you get into the home of your choice at the price you want to pay--a REALTORÒ. All the details involved in home buying, particularly the financial ones, can be mind-boggling. A good real estate professional can guide you through the entire process and make the experience much easier. A REALTORÒ will be well-acquainted with schools, neighborhoods, utilities, taxes, and more. He or she will help you determine the price range of the home you can afford and search their own listings and multiple listing services for homes you'll want to see. With immediate access to homes as soon as they're put on the market, a REALTORÒ can save you hours of wasted driving-around time. When it's time to make an offer on a home, a REALTORÒ can point out ways to structure your offer to save you money. He or she will explain the advantages and disadvantages of different types of mortgages, guide you through all paperwork associated with the transaction, and be there to hold your hand and answer last-minute questions when you sign the final papers at closing. And, you don't have to pay a REALTORÒ anything! The payment comes from the home seller - not from the buyer.

Where can I find a home?

Why waste your money and time driving around unfamiliar neighborhoods and searching ads to find a home when your REALTORÒ has information on all homes in your area right at his or her fingertips. Spend your valuable time evaluating your needs and wants and let your REALTORÒ find the home that meets your requirements.

How do I get started?

Start by getting pre-qualified. This will let you know the price range in which your REALTORÒ should be looking. This is a painless, no-cost process offered by many lenders. Contact your REALTORÒ for a list of lenders that provide this service to you.
