Why use a Realtor?

Realtors keep up on market conditions and changes in the industry. They educate themselves on neighborhoods and areas. They become the go to person for potential buyers and sellers freeing them to continue their day to day lives. Knowing market conditions enables the realtor to use honed negotiation skills for the best possible deal for a client buying or selling real estate. They handle volumes of paperwork, keep track of critical dates and arrange other services where needed. Like me, there are many good agents that do this without additional fees over the negotiated and agreed upon commissions. Some agents do charge fees.
