Why You Should Hire A REALTOR® For Your Next Home Purchase

Northern Colorado buyers, I’m talking to you! I’ve heard time and time again the confusion surrounding whether or not some actually needs to hire a REALTOR® when they purchase a home. Isn’t is just as easy as finding the house you want, getting a loan, and moving in?

Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. The buying process can be complicated for experienced and unexperienced buyers alike, especially in this competitive market. Unrepresented buyers (buyers without an agent) can find themselves in a variety of predicaments, like being unable to negotiate properly and getting taken advantage of, agreeing to legal terms you don't understand, having the deal fall apart for preventable reasons, and more. So, why should you hire a REALTOR® for your next transaction and what do we bring to the table?

  1. You DON'T have to pay our commission when you are the buyer. Buyer's agents get paid out of the listing agent's commission, so you don't have to pay out of pocket for our services. You get all the benefits of representation without having to pay us for it!

  2. We have access to more listings that you may not be able to find with a quick online search. Real estate agents pay top dollar for MLS listing memberships and software that can find the broadest range of listings, sometimes before they even hit the market.

  3. We understand market values and will negotiate on your behalf to help you avoid paying too much for your property. This is what we do day in and day out, so we can help you understand what is competitively priced and what isn't in this market.

  4. We can recommend mortgage lenders, home inspectors, surveyors, home cleaners, interior designers, and other professionals you may need to work with, so you can avoid the stress of having to vet good companies. Experienced agents will likely come with a network of experienced and trustworthy business partners.

  5. We'll handle all the legal paperwork for you, so you don't have to worry about learning to read real estate law. That's what we went to school for!

As a REALTOR®, I consider it my job to carry all the stress of the home buying transaction, so you can simply enjoy finding a home that you love. Moving is stressful enough as it is, don't add an extra layer of stress by walking into the home buying process unrepresented!
