When you're thinking about buying or selling your property, you need to ask yourself the following questions: Do you have the time, energy, sources of information, and contacts to do the job yourself? If you are one of the 'do-it-yourself' people, would the results be as good or better than they would be if you had professional assistance? Would it go smoother? Would it give you more personal time? Would you purchase for less, or sell for more, if a real estate agent was involved? Read the following information and learn how a real estate agent can help you understand everything you need to know about a real estate transaction.

How Do Real Estate Agents Get Paid?
Real estate agents or brokers are generally paid through the sales commission paid by the seller and purchaser when a transaction closes. Agents have expenses and financial obligations just like you, so it will be to your mutual benefit if you choose a real estate agent and stick with that person. The agent will respect your loyalty and respond with a sincere commitment to you.

Why A Realtor?
Realtors are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. Realtors maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. An independent survey reports that 84% of home buyers would use the same Realtor again.

You Be the Judge! Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed 50 Lac. If you had a 50 Lac income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a CA? If you had a 50 Lac legal question, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney? Considering the small upside cost and the large downside risk, it would be foolish to consider a deal in real estate without the professional assistance of a REALTOR!

Buying The process of buying a home or investment generally starts with determining your buying power; that is, your financial reserves, plus your borrowing capacity. If you give a real estate agent some basic information about your available savings, income and current debt, they can refer you to lenders best qualified to help you. Most lenders -- banks and mortgage companies -- offer limited choices.

Finding
Once you know how much you can and want to invest, the next step is to find the properties that most nearly fit your needs.

Selecting Your job is to make the final selection of the right property for you. This is when excitement and emotion run high. Your real estate agent can assist you in the selection process by providing objective information about each property. There are two things you'll want to know. First, will the property provide the environment I want for a home or investment? Second, will the property have resale value when I am ready to sell?

Negotiating
There are a myriad of negotiating factors, including, but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession, and often the inclusion or exclusion of repairs and furnishings.

Financing As soon as you are reasonably sure the property is right for you, the process of obtaining financing begins. Your agent can help you in understanding different financing options and in identifying qualified lenders.

Closing or Settlement
Finally, there is the closing, or settlement again, your real estate agent can guide you through this process and make sure everything flows together smoothly.

Selling This process generally begins with a determination of a reasonable asking price. Your real estate agent can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms, and condition of competing properties. These are key factors in getting your property sold at the best price, quickly and with minimum hassle.
Marketing The next step is a marketing plan. Marketing includes the exposure of your property to the public. Your agent acts as the marketing coordinator, disbursing information about your property in local & National News Papers & Internet . Advertising is part of marketing. The choice of media and frequency of advertising depends a lot on the property and specific market .

Security
When the property is marketed with the agent help, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Agents will generally pre-screen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.

Negotiating
Your agent can help you objectively evaluate every buyer's proposal without compromising your marketing position.

Monitoring, Renegotiating and Closing
The required paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. Your agent is the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and move the transaction to closing.
