Your principle residence is, in many cases, the largest single investment you will make.
Before you begin your search for your dream home, consider that according to a national survey, the Realtor® remains the primary source of information for buyers. Nearly 73% of all home buyers who participated in the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) survey indicated that they purchased their home through a real estate agent.
A Realtor® is a professional who subscribes to a strict Code of Ethicsas a member of the local, state and national association ofRealtors®.
As a member of the local association, Realtors® belong to a Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which allowsRealtors® to show any property listed through MLS. This will simplify your home search as you may preview all available homes with one agent.
Your process in selecting a Realtor® to assist you should include:
- Asking friends, relatives, co-workers and acquaintances for a reference.
- Seeking references from buyers who were pleased with the professionalism of an agent are reliable sources.
- Considering the company's and agent's reputation.
- Conducting a Realtor interview. You should feel comfortable with whomever you choose.
Searching for a home should be a positive experience which allows you to make informed decisions that lead to the purchase of your "dream home".
