Understanding the Process

UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS.Buying real estate is a complex matter and can be especially confusing for the first-time homebuyer. It is your Realtors job to walk you through the process and help you understand everything so the process is smooth. It may even be helpful for you to learn as much about the process as you can before you begin. There are plenty of resources on the Internet. You may also be able to research the real estate process by attending community-sponsored classes, or you can take a look at books like Home Buying For Dummies by Eric Tyson and Ray Brown, (IDG Books Worldwide, Inc.) SEE A REALTOR(R).As a buyer, it usually costs nothing to hire a real estate professional to help you find and purchase a home--your Realtor will likely get a portion of the commission the seller pays to his Realtor. When choosing an agent, get referrals from friends, relatives, and co-workers, and then interview as many agents as possible. Pick an agent that works in the neighborhoods you're interested in and someone you feel you can trust with the biggest transaction you will likely ever make.ELECT YOUR AGENT TO MAXIMIZE YOUR EXPOSURE.When selling your home, you should select a real estate agent who can expose your property to the biggest market to ensure the fastest sale at the best possible price. Ask your prospective agents about the different ways they plan to advertise your home. Also ask to see sales statistics for their Brokerage. Did you know that Skogman Realty has 41% of the Cedar Rapids market? That means with over 200 Agents, all of which have buyers, it is more likely that your home will be sold by another Skogman agent. Our closest competiton only has 17% of the CR market. Good agents should use the MLS, national and local promotion on the Internet, yard and neighborhood signs, as well as ads in various newspapers and real estate publications. In addition, in today's technological age it is imperative to promote listings on social media (Facebook, Twitter). |
