Last month Central Realty covered the basics of preparing to buy a home, as explained in their Ultimate Buyer’s Guide, and this month they answer the question, “Why work with an agent?”

Central Realty say it’s in your best interest to find a buyer’s agent who knows the local real estate market well and has a proven track record of getting their clients into the right home that fits their budget and preferences, and for their marketing expertise. Everything from where home values are rising the most, to the best ice cream shops and concert venues: that’s the kind of intricate knowledge real estate agents have about the markets in which they work. Sure, anyone can Google housing statistics and local community information, but agents are constantly in the know and building their networks so they can provide buyers with every last detail they need to know about their market.

Real estate agents are also very skilled negotiators. With a veteran real estate agent come veteran sales techniques, so you can put your trust in an experienced agent who has proven to get great prices and the best terms possible for their past clients. The best place to find out about the local agents is to go online to examine real estate agent websites and their social media presence. This is where you’ll find reviews and testimonials that can guide your decision-making.

They also have well-earned legal knowledge of buying a home. Legalese is not something the average home buyer knows a great deal about — but then again, they don’t have to, so long as they employ a real estate agent. Agents are well-versed in the language of home purchase agreements and other legal documents, meaning you don’t have to study up on real estate law and, in turn, avoid headaches during the home buying process.

Finally, a good agent needs to have a huge network of referrals, as buying a home entails a lot more than attending listing showings and making bids. It involves dealing with lenders, title insurers, appraisers, and other real estate professionals who have a necessary hand in sale agreements. Real estate agents work tirelessly to grow their vendor networks and build relationships with reputable pros and firms who know how to conduct business correctly and efficiently.
