As a Southwest Florida real estate agent, you can imagine that I have a thing or two to say about buying and selling homes. After decades in the business, I’ve seen just about everything (and probably more). As an expert in the industry, I’ve become a resource for nearly all aspects of the real estate process. And I truly love it!
Now, I completely respect anyone who decides that “For Sale by Owner” is the choice for them. Having that option means that people have more choices that might fit their lifestyle and financial goals. After all, what’s right for one person might not work for someone else. And I’m 100% in favor of custom solutions.
Still, with all my real estate experience, I also know that there are benefits to working with a professional real estate agent. So, if you’re wondering what makes the most sense for you, read on, and let’s discover the perks of going with a pro.
You’re Gaining Access to an Area Expert
This one is especially true if you’re just moving and discovering a new place to live. It can seem so big, and you really want to get connected with all the amenities you love. After all, how close you are to those amenities can be important. This is also true if you’re selling your home, as an area expert will be able to highlight those nearby amenities for you to use as selling points.
You’re Partnering with a Real Estate Guide
Any real estate agent worth their salt understands that the real estate process can be confusing to many people. It’s not that it’s impossible to understand, but after decades, a pro knows the ins and outs of the process like the back of their hand. Not only that, but they also know what problems to look out for long before they even become an issue. This is also true in how real estate, both locally and nationally, goes through cycles that can be hard to see at first glance.
You’re Connecting with an Entire Team
Because the pros get to know one another, they also form a tight network of trust. And really, when you think about it, that trust is built on the reputation of each real estate team. This means that you don’t have to run around searching for answers; instead, you can turn to an entire team, a team known for going above and beyond. This is even true for solo agents who still operate with other professionals in their area. For my Southwest Florida real estate team, it’s all about coming together to offer our clients the very best in real estate service.
