Why Hire a Licensed REALTOR® to Buy or Sell a Phoenix AZ Home

Why Should I Hire a Licensed REALTOR® to Buy or Sell?

If you’re considering buying or selling a home in the Phoenix Metro area, a surrounding suburb or neighborhood, you may be wondering why should you hire a licensed real estate agent versus other options.

The Critical Points List

For starters, there is a Critical Points List of timelines and “things to do” which occur during a Real Estate transaction. And, remember, this list kicks in only AFTER you are in a fully executed Purchase Contract with a Buyer or Seller. I will go over this with you before and during your transaction.

Don’t Pay More Than You Have to

Don’t forget about having a licensed professional to make sure you’re not paying too much for a home you’re buying. And if you’re selling your home, you want to make sure it’s NOT for too little money!

Don’t Want to Leave Money on the Table?

I tell all of my clients: “I don’t like leaving money on the table and I’m guessing you don’t either!” I’m going to guess you won’t argue with me on that one. I’ve never, ever had one single person disagree with me on that statement. And, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that you’d agree with me.

Let’s also not forget about ALL the areas during a real estate transaction that are NEGOTIABLE!

For example, ensuring that you’re able to back out of the deal if certain conditions aren’t met.

Protecting You From Legal Timelines

Additionally, if you’re planning to buy a home with a mortgage but you fail to make financing one of the conditions of the sale, you’re protected. There are timelines, of course. It’s critical to be aware of these timelines and have someone watching your back.

The Importance of Getting Pre-Approved for a Home Loan

If you aren’t truly approved for the mortgage, you can lose your earnest deposit on the home. As a result, you could even be sued by the seller for failing to fulfill your end of the contract. Hiring the right Licensed Real Estate Agent will make sure this doesn’t happen to you.

An experienced REALTOR® deals with the same contracts and conditions on a regular basis. We’re also familiar with which conditions to use, when to safely remove them, using the contract to protect you. This is true whether you’re buying or selling a home.

I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as a stupid or dumb question. Whether you’re considering hiring a licensed real estate agent in buying or selling a home in Central or Downtown Phoenix, or just have some questions about anything at all in or about any one of the historic districts in Phoenix, I’d be very happy to help you!
