The public have unlimited access to so much real estate information on line which causes some buyers and sellers to wonder why they should use a real estate agent.
Buying a home is probably the biggest purchase of your life. A Real Estate Agent has your best interests at heart and can save you from making any number of expensive mistakes.
One reason to use a Real Estate Agent is for their Experience and Expertise on Real Estate Contracts
– All real estate agents and realtors must use the Colorado Real Estate Commission Approved contracts. The purchase contract alone is 20 pages long. What do all those clauses mean? How do those deadlines fit into the overall timeline? What is a Lead Based Paint Form and when do you have to use it? What if you want to move one of the contract deadlines? Is there a form for that?
-Are you comfortable signing a 20 page legal document without any expert guidance? What are you legally committing to?
Some other reasons that will be discussed in future blog posts or were discussed in prior blog posts are:
Expertise and Experience in Solving Problems
Experience and Expertise on Real Estate Contracts
Experience and Expertise on Negotiating
