Why You NEED a REALTOR® When Buying Your Next Home

Why you NEED a REALTOR®!

The homebuying journey can feel a bit overwhelming, especially if this is your first time or it’s been a while since you last purchased a home. Not to worry, that’s exactly what real estate agents are trained to do; navigate and guide you through the process.

REALTORS®  are fully educated in the home-buying process, backed by a Real Estate Broker who fully supports the transaction. They also have required state licensing education to stay up to date on the latest processes and are a part of the National Association of REALTORS®, committing themselves to further education and the utmost in ethics.  We often say, “Buyers can find a home easily on a number of websites, but closing on that home is the expertise of the REALTOR®“.

Your agent will be by your side throughout the whole process, giving you the insight and information you need to have confidence in your decision. It is important to choose the right agent, and not all brokerages are created equal.  Here at Coldwell Banker Harris McHaney & Faucette, our culture prides itself on the highest ethical standards, fairness, and equity for our clientele, and representing the best interest of each Buyer/Seller.
