Importance of Working with a Realtor



The Importance of Working with a Realtor in Buying or Selling a Home

Real Estate is important.  Most Americans consider it as their most expensive and most important investment in their life.  The biggest and most significant transaction they may have that involves a significant amount of money, time and understanding from both the buyer and the seller. Working with a professional, a licensed Realtor can definitely make that process faster and easier.

Not working with a Realtor in buying or selling a home may sound as if you are saving a lot, as in more money for you.  However, with the costs incurred in the actual process of getting your home sold/costs involved in owning a home, plus adept understanding of home valuation, disclosure forms, inspection reports, mortgage documents and insurance policies will make a relationship with a Realtor the best investment you will make. 

Working with a Realtor eliminates the hassle of doing the legwork on your own.  Realtors are certified, trained and licensed to help you find the perfect home that fits your needs, or help you find a buyer who will be the next owners of your home.  They will be your representative and will make sure they utilize their connections and associations in making this home buying/home selling process smooth as possible.  They will make calls for appointments, inspections, repairs and take care of all the paperwork for you during this process.  Realtors like Jeffrey Harmes and The Harmes Team, your residential specialists in the Denver North Metro Area, are knowledgeable about what’s going on in the market.  They have ample knowledge on what makes a house sell or how to negotiate with the owners of the house before even making or accepting an offer.  With all of these, your interest will always be protected when you have a Realtor assists you in this process.
