Why
use one of Home to Home Realty's staff of professional
REALTORS®?
Each of
our real estate licensees are members of the NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and are properly called
Realtors®. We proudly display the Realtor "®" logo on
our business cards or other marketing and sales
literature. As Realtors®, we are committed to treat all
parties in a transaction fairly and honestly. We
subscribe to a strict code of ethics and maintain a high
level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling
real estate.
Real
estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial
investments that most of us will experience in our
lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $100,000.
Think of it this way, if you had a $100,000 income tax
problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the
help of a CPA? If you had a $100,000 legal question,
would you deal with it without the help of an attorney?
Considering the small upside cost and the large downside
risk, it would be foolish to consider a deal in real
estate without the professional assistance of one of
Home to Home Realty’s professional Realtor®.
But if
you're still not convinced of the value of using one of
our professionals, here are a
few more
reasons to give us a call.
First if
you are buying:
1.
We can help you determine your buying power-- If you
give us some basic information about your available
savings, income and current debt, we can help you find
lenders best qualified to help you.
2.
We have many resources to assist you in your home
search. Sometimes the property you are seeking is
available but not actively advertised in the market, and
it will take some investigation by your agent to find
all available properties.
3.
We can assist you in the choosing your new home by
providing objective information about each property. We
can provide local community information on utilities,
zoning, schools, etc. We can advise you as to which
inspections are recommended or required. Depending on
the area and property, this could include inspections
for termites, dry rot, asbestos, faulty structure, roof
condition, septic tank and well tests, just to name a
few. We can assist you in finding qualified
professionals to do most of these inspections and
provide you with written reports.
4.
We can guide you through the closing process and make
sure everything flows together smoothly.
Second,
if you are selling:
1.
When you get ready to sell your home, we can give you
up-to-date information on what is happening in the
marketplace and the price, financing, terms and
condition of competing properties. These are key factors
in getting your property sold at the best price, quickly
and with minimum hassle.
2.
Often, we can recommend repairs or cosmetic work that
will significantly enhance the salability of your
property. We will market your property to other real
estate agents and the public through our Multiple
Listing Service, newspaper and radio ads as well on the
internet and through our web page. We will host open
houses for both other agents and potential buyers.
3.
We can help you objectively evaluate every buyer's
proposal without compromising your marketing position.
This initial agreement is only the beginning of a
process of appraisals, inspections and financing- a lot
of possible pitfalls. We can help you through them all.
4.
We can help close the sale of your home. Between the
initial sales agreement and closing (or settlement),
questions may arise. For example, unexpected repairs are
required to obtain financing or a cloud in the title is
discovered. The required paperwork alone is overwhelming
for most sellers. Home to Home Realty have the bests
agents to objectively help you resolve these issues and
move the transaction to closing (or settlement). |
