Today’s home buyers have a big advantage over buyers from a decade ago: the internet. You can search for homes for sale online as well as find pricing data and instructions on how to buy a home. So, why would you possibly want to engage a Northcote real estate agent to help you buy a home?

Here are four surprising and not-so-surprising reasons why engaging a Northcote real estate agent will save you time and money when buying a home:

 

1. Paperwork

Today’s real estate contracts run 10 pages or more, and will take you hours to read, comprehend, process and file. One miniscule mistake or omission could land you in court or cost you thousands. Experienced agents handle the paperwork and legal issues for you, minimizing your hassles, headaches and anxiety.

 

2. House Hunting

It’s a jungle out there! Navigating through the thousands of North Shore homes for sale can be overwhelming. Your agent can streamline that process for you by sorting through the trash and finding the gem that meets all your needs and fits your budget.

 

3. Goal Achievement

When you have an expert working on your team and looking out for your best interests, you won’t have to settle for less. A professional agent is by your side every step of the way, helping you achieve your goal.

 

4. Price Advice

Your agent can help you determine if a property you’re interested in is worth the asking price and give you guidance on the value of the home. She or he will also guide you through the negotiation process, to get you the best outcome possible. Experienced agents have honed their skills through years of practice in many types of real estate markets and with a wide variety of personalities.
