Question 2

Why do I need a real estate agent?

Accepted Answer

Buying and selling real estate requires MANY steps, lots of to-do list items, and much legal know-how.  Buying a new home or selling one you own is typically one of the LARGEST and most important financial transactions you can go through.  It can be emotional and complicated.  
A real estate agent provides you with valuable insights and expertise.  They will listen to your needs and goals, then help you navigate the transaction's complex legal and financial aspects to meet them. 
They will save you time and effort by handling negotiations and paperwork and ultimately help you get the best possible outcome for your situation. 
Additionally, a real estate agent has access to a network of industry professionals and can help you find properties that meet your specific needs and goals that you wouldn't otherwise have access to.
