WHY USE A BROKER – PART ONE

 WHY USE A BROKER – PART ONE

By Robin Shapiro

Some people try to sell and/or buy their home without a broker. Some people are lucky and get it done without a hitch. However, often they’d be better off if they used a good broker, especially a local broker with intimate local awareness. Here is what I do for my clients:

  • Help to AVOID A LOW APPRAISAL – rates are high, prices in general are down from the pandemic peak. See next week’s article discussing this.
  • Qualify potential buyers- price range, mortgage commitment and taste.
  • Advise the seller on making the house more presentable.
  • Market analysis for the correct pricing. Knowledge and experience regarding comparable market listings. Why did THAT HOUSE sell at THAT price? Why is THAT house listed at THAT price?
  • Recommend a choice of reliable and user- friendly attorneys, mortgage brokers, movers, CPA’s, exterminators, contractors, clean out services.
  • Act as an intermediary between the seller and buyer, often preventing friction.
  • Coordinate viewings and visits by clients, inspectors, and appraisers.
  • Some individuals think that they can self-advertise. Their relatively small ads tend to get overlooked. My big weekly ads get attention. My website is useful. Take a look.

Call me.  Love, Robin.
