Why sell through a realtor?
Life can be complicated enough, so the process of purchasing a home or selling that valuable piece of property should not be a confusing one. Although there are many factors to consider, seeking the services and expertise of an experienced realtor will be the most important decision one can make when deciding to buy or sell.

Top Reasons to Hire a Real Estate Agent
- Education and Experience. This saves you from having to know the many ins and outs of buying and selling real estate.
- Agents are Buffers who know who should see your house, helping weed out the casual browser from the serious buyer.
- Neighbourhood Knowledge. Your agent knows the neighbourhood, or they know where to find all relevant information on the neighbourhood (i.e. data on schools, crime rates, demographics etc.)
- Price Guidance. This is an important service as agents will help to guide you in making the right choices for yourself as it pertains to asking and selling prices.
- Market Conditions Information. Knowing the average per square foot cost of similar homes, median and average sales prices, average days on market, ratios of list-to-sold prices all help you in making an informed decision on when to buy and when to sell, and where.
- Negotiating Skills & Confidentiality. Buying or selling a house can be a very exciting and emotional time which can lead to impulsive decisions at times clouded by miscommunications. The key to successful negotiations is that agents are able to remove themselves from the emotional aspects of the transaction.
- Handling Volumes of Paperwork and Answering Questions after Closing. Even after the transaction that closes without complications questions and issues can arise that were overlooked in the excitement of closing. Good agents do not vanish into thin air after the deal is done, but remain available and ready to assist.
