5 REASONS WHY USING A LOCAL AGENT IS BEST

If you are looking to buy or sell a home, remember that a real estate transaction is very complicated, involving a lot of money and risk. Every market is different; a local Realtor® is your BEST bet for the following reasons:

1. Superior Market Knowledge - Knows the inventory inside and out and will be able to easily pick out homes that are a good fit for you.

2. They Know the Schools - Has personal experience with the school system and be able to share valuable information with you. What are the school ratings? What does exemplary” mean? What is the student/teacher ratio?

3. Neighborhood Experts - Knows all the specific neighborhoods, often with friends and clients in each one that can be made available to you if needed. Our clients always appreciate hearing from people who live in the neighborhoods in which they are considering.

4. Strong Relationships With Other Agents - Networks with other local agents to get information that you will never find on-line. We will know about homes that may be coming on the market in the future or learn about a seller who has suddenly become "highly motivated" and is open to offers.

5. In The Know - Real estate gossip gets discussed in small circles in every community. While most agents will never learn this "insider information", a local agent hears these things and will share them with their clients.
