Many people wonder,
What are the benefits in having my own real estate agent?
With all the technology at our fingertips, we are able to search for almost anything and be provided with several different options to discover the answer. However, in this Metro Phoenix, Arizona market it becomes especially challenging as we are surrounded by short sales, bank owned and homes that are being flipped. Properties are having to be located, viewed and offers written in the same day. Then if you are lucky your contract is accepted. You NEED a real estate agent to walk you through this process.
In this Metro Phoenix, AZ economy at first glance it appears to be the perfect time to seize a deal of the decade. In truth the Metro Phoenix, AZ market is similar to “Black Friday” shopping. The prices are fantastic, yet there are limited quantities. Having a real estate agent is like having a person who shops for you while you wait in the long line to check out.
Or consider this FOOTBALL FANS, a real estate agent is that of a left tackle who protects your blind side.
Real estate purchases are usually the largest financial investment that people make in their lifetime. The average home price in Maricopa County currently is $115,000. If you had a $100,000 financial matter with a legal, tax or a medical circumstance; I am quite certain that you would consult a professional who had dealt with a similar situation to yours before. Why would you do that? It is simple, because with experience comes knowledge. They have been there and done that. They know the questions that need to be asked and a lot of the time the answers, too.
But if I need to persuade you further, consider the following:
- Your real estate agent will have already received a professional education in real estate and will be licensed with the state [in our case Arizona].
- Your real estate agent will have access to the best searching tools, with up to date information.
- Your real estate agent will shield you from the nonsense of the emotionally attached seller or the neighbor who is just looking for information.
- Your real estate agent will be able to guide you to a current market value based on real time data.
- Your real estate agent will already have successful marketing tools to sell your property.
- Your real estate agent will be able to help you negotiate a price and recommend inspections to protect you from unseen issues.
- Your real estate agent will be able to help you find a lender who understands the different financing options.
- Your real estate agent will have contacts within the industry and can refer only the best to you.
- Your real estate agent will handle the 1 to 3 inches of paperwork generated from a real estate deal.
- Your real estate agent will assist you through the closing process and make sure that it is smooth.
I am partial to the team of real estate agent’s that I work with here at Perkinson Properties who serve the entire Metro Phoenix, AZ valley. And I hope that you might choose one of them. However, even if you don’t choose a Perkinson Properties agent; I hope that you can at least see the benefit of having YOUR own real estate agent.
