Do I Really Need Help Selling A Home?
Question: Do I really need help buying or selling a home?
Answer: If you ever bought a cow, you know that you need a vet, a farmer, agricultural inspectors, tax specialists (it is possible to depreciate a cow), an insurance agent (yes, they can be insured), etc. The bottom line is that transactions are often more complex than they seem. Real estate transactions have become markedly more complex in recent years and for that reason it is important to have professional assistance. If you are a seller, you want a real estate broker and possibly an attorney, legal clinic and a tax professional. If you are a buyer, you will want such specialists as a buyer broker, home inspector, lender, attorney, legal clinic, and tax professional. The lender will insist on the use of a surveyor, appraiser, and termite control specialist. Why so many folks? The transfer of real estate is complex and involves a variety of interests which need to be protected -- including your interests. Compared to the cost of fixing problems, it is cheap to get help and do it right up front.
