WHY HIRE A REALTOR?

HOME BUYERS:

Investors who are working with a Realtor can save time and money. They have access to deals that are on and off market. They have access to resources that can help the investor in reaching their goals.

HOME SELLERS:

"The home buying & selling process BEGINS and FINISH with ME, so that there is no interruption throughout the process.” - LONG M. NGUYEN

REAL ESTATE AS AN INVESTMENT

88% of Buyers and Sellers use a REALTOR

70% of HOMES SOLD are by a REALTOR

1 - “Buying and Selling a home is one of the most stressful thing anyone goes through, and is typically the largest investment anyone makes”

2 - “To take out the expert (Real Estate Agent) in the process and move into a 100 percent technical or online approach, you lose the non-emotional guidance."

3 - "Consumers (home buyers and sellers) need to have an advocate or expert in their corner who isn’t emotionally tied to the transaction. The agent manages transactions from start to finish. It’s the service the agent provides well beyond buying and selling a home.”

More than half of buyers found the home they purchased online, according to the National Association of REALTORS®; however, 88 percent of buyers purchased their home through an agent or broker.

For Sale By Owners accounted for 8% of home sales. The typical For Sale By Owners home sold for $185,000 compared to $240,000 for REALTOR - assisted home sales.
