A New Home Search

After several years of diligently saving money, I’m nearly ready to purchase my first home. Because I’ve been thinking about buying a home for so long, I know exactly what I want my house to look like. I desire a place that has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. I also need a quiet space to set up my home office in. I want a massive, walk-in closet in my master bedroom. My master bathroom needs to have double vanities, a tiled, walk-in shower, and a Jacuzzi tub. On this blog, I hope you will discover how to set priorities during your new home search. Enjoy!

Elli Jokela

If you are trying to sell your house you might be wondering is hiring  a realtor is worth the money. Some people think that they will save money if they just do it on their own. Although you will save some money on the commission, there are things that a realtor can do that will actually get you a better deal in the long run. Here are some reasons to hire a realtor.

1. More Showings

The more people you can get looking at your property the more likely you are to get compositing bids on the property which will end up driving the price of the house up. If you try to sell the house on your own you will soon realize that one of the biggest obstacles to over come is trying to get people in to your house. It can sit on the market for weeks with only a few people even coming over to look at it. When you hire a realtor you will have serious buyers looking at your house within the first week, and if you are in a desirable area you are likely to get multiple bids on the house. This will allow you to make the most off the house.

2. It Will Sell Quicker

Because you have more showings it is likely that the house will sell quicker. But in addition to getting foot traffic in there, a realtor is a marketer. They know what you need to do to make the house more desirable. They can help you change certain things about the house that might turn people away, they will help you organize the house so that when people walk through it appears bigger and so forth. The marketing of the house is one of the most important aspects to selling it quicker, and a realtor is great at marketing.

3. Better Negotiations

Lastly, a realtor is trained to negotiate on the house. This means that when the bids do start coming in, you will have a skilled professional working for you to get the best deal possible. They know how to sweeten the deal for buyers and get you a number you can work with. By negotiating the deal correctly, you can save money in the long run.

As you can see all of these things will save you time and money, which is why hiring a realtor is good for your house and your wallet.
