There are certain decisions in a real estate transaction that your professional Realtor can help you optimize. As a home seller, there are a number of decisions you will be faced with. Some of the very important ones involve the following nine items, which we have compiled into a list. Here are a few things a good Realtor can help you with:

Having a professional Realtor on your side is a huge advantage.

1. Pricing properly. It’s critical that you hire someone who keeps a close eye on the market. A Realtor knows exactly what trends are on the market and can help your price your home in a way that will maximize your property’s impact on buyers.

2. Negotiation. How can you capitalize on each offer that comes to you? A real estate agent has professional negotiation skills that will help you maximize every opportunity.

3. Marketing. How are you going to market your property? What are the most effective ways to implement marketing? A good Realtor knows how to market your property effectively.

4. Inspections. You want to get the best results when negotiating inspection requests with the buyer, and a Realtor can help you do just that.

5. Appraisals. We know how to get the best results from your appraisal.

6. Financing. Having someone that understands financial nuances is important. Not every bank and lending institution operates on the same level.

7. Legal requirements. Every transaction has some restrictions and a Realtor can help guide you in determining which requirements need to be addressed.

8. Timing decisions. These are critical. You need to determine when each facet of the transaction will happen and how that affects interest rates and property taxes.
