What Can a Realtor(R) Do That the Internet Can’t?

what can your realtor do that the internet cant tampa bay homes for sale

Many—in fact most—homebuyers use the Internet at some point in their search for homes for sale. However, the search is just one part of the home buying process. The Internet can be of great use, but it’s still in your best interest to work with a trusted Realtor®. This is as true for buyers as it is for sellers.

Your Realtor Knows the Market

While popular websites such as Zillow and Trulia offer price estimates for Tampa area homes, these values are not without their drawbacks. While the algorithms such sites use to determine a home’s value are generally sound, the data they use is often outdated or inaccurate.

An experienced Realtor in Tampa knows, firsthand, how to price your home for a fast sale. Conversely, Realtors can help you decide whether the home you’re looking to buy is priced fairly.

Understanding Real Estate Transactions

Buying or selling a property involves many steps and an array of paperwork. Some of the legalities of real estate transactions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Having a trusted Realtor at your side can help to ensure you know what’s expected of you—and what to expect from the other party.

Additionally, your Realtor can refer you to reputable industry professionals in your area. From financing and title insurance to home inspectors and remodeling contractors, your Realtor’s network can be a great resource for homebuyers and sellers alike.

Negotiations in a Home Sale

In many cases, it takes some communication, counter-offers and other interactions to close a sale. Having an experienced negotiator in your corner can make a huge difference in the price and terms of your home sale. No website can replace your Realtor’s expertise when it comes to negotiating a sale.
