Hiring a real estate professional when buying or selling a home, especially in an uncertain economic climate, means that you can take advantage of their market knowledge, researching skills, and their comparative pricing analytics, as well as their negotiating skills, so that you get the best possible deal.
In today's world of realty where real estate transactions are becoming more complex and negotiations are becoming more aggressive, it is vital for home buyers and sellers have professional representation, otherwise they risk the ability to secure future investment opportunities.
When you search for a realtor consider these aspects:
1) Local Knowledge - look for a realtor that is familiar with your neighborhood, as they will have valuable insight into the region, possible opportunities for growth and what suburbs represent the best value in terms of investment appreciation.
2) Experience - the more experience your realtor has, the better, because they will be experts at negotiation, and be able to offer you sound advice.
3) Communication - a realtor with little or no communication skills is not a good choice. Find a realtor who you can talk to, and one that you actually enjoy being around, because you will spend a fair bit of time with them discussing your wants and needs.
