Buying and Selling Sarnia Real Estate

Buying and selling a home isn’t a simple process especially if you consider the following details: Do you have access to every home for sale in the neighborhoods you’re interested in? Do you have the time, energy and resources to research the real estate market in your area? Do you understand the true value of your property, and can you market your home for sale effectively? Can you read real estate contracts and, if selling a home, do you understand your legal obligations toward buyers?

Fact of the matter is, buying and selling real estate can be complicated, not to mention the biggest financial decision most people ever make. With so much at stake, working with a professional real estate agent can help locate the right property at the right price, or negotiate the best deal possible on your home sweet home. But how does one choose a real estate agent? Here are a few helpful hints:

Interview candidates from different agencies. Look into their qualifications. How many years have they been on the job and how competent are they? Have there been any complaints filed with the State Board of Realtors? Finally, how compatible are you? There’s no underestimating the importance of personality when choosing a real estate agent.

Does your real estate agent know the in’s and out’s of your neighbourhood of choice? If so, they should be aware of the housing prices in the areas you are aiming to buy or sell a home. An experienced agent will know the market well enough to set an optimal price that is attractive for both the buyer and seller.

Real estate agents have access to a powerful tool –the Multiple Listing Service (M.L.S.) that has listings for all available properties by region. A skilled agent will use the M.L.S., in addition to their own experience, to locate homes in neighborhoods matching your property wish list — such as a the number of floors, access to transit, how new the property is, and close access to highways.

What level of customer care will you receive? A real estate agent is your business partner in a huge financial undertaking, so you’ll want to choose a real estate agent that is always ready, willing and available. Be sure that communication stays open and phone calls are returned. Some agents employ assistants to handle much of their legwork. If this is the case, be certain your agent is the one present and accounted for when it comes time to check the contracts and close the transaction.

Always read through the real estate contracts to understand what you’re signing. This will protect your own interests.
