When you hire a realtor to represent you, they will work to protect your escrow deposit and advocate on your behalf, making sure you go under contract at the right price, strategize your offer in a multiple offer situation, guide you through the due diligence periods, ask for repairs and confirm completion prior to closing to get you to the closing table without delays.

It is very important to stay in communication with the buyer, seller, agents, lender, inspectors, contractors, title agent, attorney and closing agent. In addition, you may need repair estimates or repairs before or after closing. Having a realtor allows you to focus on your day to day activities instead of the logistics of buying, selling or relocating. Think of your realtor as the project manager of the real estate transaction. Your realtor could help create a smooth successful transaction and help reduce the stress of moving.
