Why Should I Use a Realtor?
Buying a home or an investment property is a significant financial investment that should not be treated lightly. Because of the large amount of money involved, it is in a buyer’s best interest to work with a professional that can guide you through this process and minimize any downside risk. Officially licensed REALTORS® are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and follow a strict code of ethics. A REALTORS® first priority is to treat all parties honestly and protect and promote the interests of their client. John's team recognizes the value in putting buyers first and working together to create a long term relationship.
REALTORS® have many resources available to assist you. In addition to those listings on MLS, John's team also has access to listings that might be available but not actively on the market. With a clear understanding of your requirements, John can help you find the right property. John’s team of professionals can also put you in touch with the right people to make your buying process run smoothly. Working in the real estate business has enabled us to form working relationships with lawyers, inspectors, mortgage brokers/bankers, contractors and a wealth of additional industry professionals that can not only help you purchase a property but also renovate or customize it as well.
REALTORS® can help you understand your buying power (how much you can afford to spend) and your financing alternatives. Relationships with mortgage brokers and bankers keep John's team up to speed on the lending market in order to provide rough interest rate estimates and assist you in securing an appropriate financing solution. John's team can refer you to qualified lenders best suited to your needs with some basic information about your income, savings and total outstanding debt.
A REALTOR® can provide professional opinions on specific properties, locations and price. While the numerous real estate programs on television today can be informative and educational, they neglect to show you the specifics associated with the Chicagoland market. John’s team takes the time to understand your objectives and, as REALTORS®, is there to provide you with information about the specific local markets. As current residents in the Chicagoland area and active members of the community, in addition to viewing hundreds of listings each month, his team is qualified to give you their professional opinions on properties, locations and value. John's team can perform comparable market analysis on the properties you would like to make an offer on, which will give you an idea of the appropriate value range as well as a list of recent transactions in the local community and possible effects on resale value when you are ready to sell.
A REALTOR® can help you negotiate and facilitate the due diligence and closing process. John's team has significant experience negotiating the best deal for their clients, and they will see your purchase through to the end, at all times making sure to take care of the details. John's team can put together the purchase agreement, advise you on the appropriate inspections and put you in touch with qualified professionals.
