Choosing A REALTOR®

It amazes me when I get a random call, from a sign in the yard, and I ask the question,"Are you currently working with a Realtor?"  Some reply, "Yes.", but most often the response I hear is, "No. We're just driving around."  Driving around?  What they really mean to say is, "We've been on line looking at houses. We want to buy a house and we're checking out the neighborhood. We're just not sure if we need a realtor. We think we can do this on our own. Besides, we don't want to feel pressured."

Some homeowners attempt to buy their home themselves, only to be disappointed with the end result. Buying your own home requires you to educate yourself about the industry, the type of market you’re hoping to live in, and negotiating and buying techniques to name a few. Of course, this doesn’t take into account the hours of time and energy you will spend throughout the home buying process. If that isn’t enough, consider the paperwork and legal forms you are responsible for filling out.

An experienced REALTOR® will know the required contracts, forms, and disclosure statements necessary for each sales transaction inside and out. Each legal document must be completed properly. REALTORS® also have access to forms not available to others. If you make a mistake at some point in the real estate transaction, you may find yourself unable to close the deal.

The Teresa Noland REPRO Team will work hard to find just the right home to fit your needs. We will assess your dream home's actual market value as compared to the listing price and negotiate with the homeowners’ selling agent on your behalf.  All to ensure you get the best house for the best price possible. Ultimately choosing The Simmons & Noland Team is the most important step in guaranteeing your home buying experience is successful. It's time to stop driving around. Give us a call.
