Why Use a Realtor?

By:


It’s a buyer’s market and Generation Y -- the children of the Baby Boomers -- are buying in droves. They prefer to buy books on Amazon.com instead of the local bookstore. They buy cars from eBay.com instead of the local dealership. In essence, Gen Y is cutting out the middle man. Does this mean they no longer need a Realtor in order to purchase a home? Absolutely not!

A Realtor is much more than just a go-between; the services they offer are not available in black and white or online. A website cannot tell you how a home smells, or about a train blaring through the neighborhood at midnight. A Realtor’s time and experience in this market far outweighs any money saved by squeezing out the middle man.

While books and cars are commonplace items, a home is not. Going about purchasing a place to live in the same manner one would purchase something to drive or read is not always going to result in the same type of savings. In getting rid of your intermediary, you’re gambling on the most important investment of your life: your home.
