Choosing Your Real Estate Team

Published April 21, 2023

Buying a home is a complex process, and having a team of professionals on your side can make it much easier. When building your team, make sure to include a real estate representative, a mortgage lender, a home inspector, and a lawyer. With the help of these professionals, you can find the home of your dreams and ensure a smooth and successful buying process.

What to Expect from your
Real Estate Representatives

A good real estate representative should be able to save you time and trouble. When discussing your needs with a representative, be as specific as possible about the kind of home you’re looking for and your price range. If you’re not certain, set aside some time for your representative to help you determine these.

He or she will know what is on the market, in which neighborhoods and at what price, and can save you time by pre-screening home listings — screening out the ones that don’t meet your needs or budget. Then he or she can make appointments for you to see the homes that suit you.

A real estate representative can also assist you in making an Offer to Purchase. Representatives are aware of current market conditions, what price offers are realistic and what conditions to include in any offers.
