Real estate is a competitive and confusing world, which is why you should work with a realtor when buying or selling a home. You may hear people claim that they will never work with a realtor because they do not want to pay the commission fee. Would you fix your broken car yourself or install electric wiring throughout your house yourself or would you hire a trained professional?
Working with a realtor is just like hiring a mechanic or an electrician. You are hiring a trained professional who has uncommon knowledge in their field to help you. Realtors go through hours and hours of training and must pass exams in order to obtain their real estate license. They also must continue their education after getting licensed.
When buying or selling a house without a realtor, you lose out on many opportunities and add a lot more work on yourself. Not only must you learn the world and rules of real estate, but you must also search and market properties and handle all paperwork. Real estate agents will handle the deal for you and make your life much easier.

Trained Professional
Realtors help clients buy and sell homes every day. They have gained experience through many trainings and years of service. They know what mistakes to avoid and how to handle certain situations. They know what they are doing and will help you through the process of buying or selling a home. They know exactly what paperwork needs to be filled out, what deposits should be made, and how important home inspections are.
Without working with a realtor, you can miss important details that can kill your deal.
Access to Resources
One of the perks of being a realtor is having access to many resources buyers and For Sale By Owners do not have. Realtors have the resources to market properties to thousands of agents within their state just by using the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) along with Zillow and Trulia.
They also have a large network of realtors, contractors, mortgage lenders, and many more important roles that factor in when buying or selling a home. Networking is an essential part of being a realtor, so they’re good at it! Realtors can recommend great resources to you, so you don’t make the mistake of working with someone who will not do a good job.
Paperwork… So Much Paperwork
There is a ton of paperwork involved in buying or selling a home. Nobody likes doing paperwork, so why put that responsibility on your shoulders when you can work with a realtor? The only thing you will have to do with paperwork is sign your name! Realtors will make sure that all paperwork is filled out correctly and will take the time out of their day to complete it.
Problem Solvers
It isn’t uncommon for problems to arise during the buying or selling of a home. These trained professionals are here to help you and to solve these problems without worrying you. Realtors will negotiate terms, price, and anything else on your behalf. You will never come in contact with the other side of the deal until settlement. You just have to sit back and wait to hear from your agent. If you’re working with a good realtor, then you’ll find the process to be pretty easy.
Easy for You
