Technology is amazing! You can order groceries, clothes, appliances, even cars just by pointing and clicking on your computer. So it’s understandable why people ask why they need a real estate agent to help them buy or sell a home. I am happy to provide five reasons why you should hire an agent.
Buying and selling a home is considered one of the most stressful times in a person’s life. Real estate agents understand this and are skilled in easing any worry in order to insure the next chapter in your life begins with a smooth transition.
- Education and Experience – In this fast paced world we are all looking for ways to save time. Real estate agents have the education and experience to help with your home buying/selling needs. Every state requires hours of education and an exam in order to secure a license. Doesn’t it make sense to hire an agent with the education and experience to guide you through one of the most stressful stages in life?
- Objectivity – One of the best things about hiring a real estate agent is their objectivity when it comes to school districts, neighborhoods, and local amenities. Because they work locally, they know the areas that will cater to your wants and needs. They take your wish list and are able to suggest areas that will fulfill those desires saving you time researching it on your own.
- Networking and Marketing – A great perk of having a real estate agent on your side while you are selling or buying a home is their network of other agents, past clients, family members, and friends. Having a network at their fingertips keeps them in the loop with new listings or new clients who may just fall in love with the property you are trying to sell. Along with professional networking, real estate agents also market your home by placing it on the MLS (multiple listing service), marketing it on the internet, holding open houses, and sending out mailers in your neighborhood.
- Negotiation Skills and Confidentiality – Top producing agents negotiate well. They remove the emotional aspects of the transaction and because they know the market, they can negotiate a win-win. It’s part of their job description. They are professional and trained to present their client’s case in the best light and agree to hold client information confidential from competing interests.
- Paperwork – Buying or selling a home requires a lot documentation in the form of disclosures, contracts and amendments before you get to the closing table. This is by far one of the best things about hiring a reputable real estate agent. They have the knowledge to be able to complete and present a contract that has your best interest at heart. They will handle all the paperwork that is needed for the transaction so the only thing you have to do is sign on the dotted line.

Thanks for bringing up how real estate agents can offer professional negotiation skills by facilitating a “win-win” situation. My wife and I are planning on buying a house soon. Hopefully, we can find someone who can help us find a home for a reasonable price.
My sister is planning to purchase a brand new house and lot for her growing family. She is in need of a professional who can educate with the current trends in the market. Thanks for mentioning that a good real estate agent must have the objectivity, networking and marketing skills to other agents, and can assist you with the legalities when it comes to paperwork. Cheers!
I truly believe that getting a well experienced and educated real estate agent should be taken into consideration in buying a new house. As a first time owner, I want to make sure that everything will go well especially the paperwork and permits. I want to talk to a local agent who has knowledge in the local market trends and movements and someone who could give me the best advice in my real estate needs. Cheers!
My best friend is planning to do an open house this coming weekend to the people in their community. They will be migrating into a different city and they are looking for prospective buyers of their house and all the appliances. She is currently looking for a real estate agent who is able to connect to a network of different agents, past clients, and friends. Thanks for adding that a good agent can also assist them with the processing of the paperwork. Cheers!
Thanks for informative post. That’s right! home buyers/sellers should hire good real estate agents. Agents can help you weed out unwanted properties by getting detail on what you’re looking for in a home. They can email you a list of properties based on your specifications. This will help you save time and energy.
It makes sense that professional real estate agents are skilled negotiators. My wife and I would like to buy a new house soon. I will make sure that we find an agent that can help with the negotiation process.
