DO I NEED A REALTOR WHEN BUYING A HOME?

Yes!  Buying a home is likely the largest investment you will ever make and you stand to lose a lot if you do not have a well informed, experienced professional looking out for your interests.  It pays to have someone to represent you.

Here is a brief list of the many reasons you need a realtor to buy a home in Las Vegas.

    • The seller likely has a realtor who is legally and morally obligated to represent and negotiate for them.  You need someone to do the same for you.

 

    • Buying a home is a complex legal transaction.  That is why the state of Nevada requires Realtors to be licensed and stay current on Real Estate laws through continuing education. A licensed, trained, experienced, professional realtor will guide you through this process.

 

    • A good realtor will save you tons of time and effort.  Finding the home that is perfect for you is an overwhelming task…like finding the needle in the stack of hay.  At America’s Choice Realty our team saves you the agonizing time and effort of sifting through every home for sale in Las Vegas, Henderson and Summerlin.  We take the time to ask what you want and we listen.  Then, we give you a list of every property that meets your needs, wants, requirements and budget.  This makes it much easier and faster to find your dream home.

 

    • The Real Estate Market in Las Vegas is constantly changing and varies neighborhood by neighborhood, sometimes even day by day.  It is our full time job to stay current on these changes.  When you work with a realtor, you gain the advantage of our knowledge and expertise.  When you go it alone, you miss things and that can cost you.

 

  • A good realtor will connect you with other professionals to ensure you have a smooth and on time closing.  Without a realtor helping and guiding it’s all up to you to :
      • Find a thorough home inspector and negotiate the repairs he/she recommends with the seller
      • Find an Insurance agent and obtain Homeowner’s insurance that meets your lender’s requirements, and protects your investment at a fair price
    • Find a title company to research the history of the property to protect your from past liens against the property and handle a legal closing and recording of the transfer and deed and proper payment of real estate taxes so that you are protected in the future. The fact is that anyone can show you a home.  The question is, “What does a Realtor do for their clients?” At America’s Choice Realty, our agents do all the things above and so much more every day.  And as a home buyer, it costs you absolutely nothing to work with one of our agents.  Why wouldn’t you take advantage of our expertise?

Consider the comments below from a recent home buyer:

This was our 4th home purchase and we never considered not calling our realtor. What did our Realtor do for us?

1. Researched the home and neighborhood to help us make a good offer
2. Negotiated more than $15,000 off the asking price
3. Seller paid a $2,500 in credit toward new carpet
4. Seller paid all of our closing costs
5. Seller paid to buy our interest rate down below 4%
6. Seller repaired/completed 2 page punch list from our home inspector
7. Our agent was there whenever we needed her; when we had questions, she had answers.
8. Resolved a problem with the seller and the gas company
9. Introduced us to an amazing mortgage lender when the company we previously used was dragging their feet
10. Provided us all the information to get all our utilities moved and get our children into the new school district
11. Did a walk through of the new home with us an hour before closing to make sure everything was right
12. Was there with us at the close of escrow to make sure that all the paperwork was correct.
13. Followed up after closing to see how we were doing in our new home.
