WELCOME TO BEAMAN REAL ESTATE
serving the Keene, NH area and all of Cheshire
County!
If you are thinking of selling your home,
chances are you’re caught up in a mass of
emotions. You may be looking forward to moving
up to a new home or facing the uncertainty of a
major move across the country. You may be
reluctant to leave your memories behind or eager
to start new and exciting adventures.
If you are in the market for a new home, your
emotions may be running just as high. Is it the
right time to buy? Has the market hit bottom
yet? What are interest rates likely to do in the
new few months? These are just a few of the
questions you are probably asking yourself.
Jeannette Duhaime, as a licensed REALTOR
(trademark), can help answer all of these
questions.
Why Use a REALTOR®?
All real estate licensees are not the same. Only
real estate licensees who are members of the
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® are properly
called REALTORS®. They proudly display the
REALTOR "®" logo on the business card or other
marketing and sales literature. REALTORS® are
committed to treat all parties to a transaction
honestly. REALTORS® subscribe to a strict code
of ethics and are expected to 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.
Real estate transactions involve one of the
biggest financial investments most people
experience in their lifetime. Transactions today
usually exceed $100,000. If you had a $100,000
income tax problem, would you attempt to deal
with it without the help of a CPA? If you had a
$100,000 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®.
But if you're still not convinced of the value
of a REALTOR®, here are a dozen more reasons to
use one:
|
1. |
Your
REALTOR® can help you determine your
buying power -- that is, your financial
reserves plus your borrowing capacity.
If you give a REALTOR® some basic
information about your available
savings, income and current debt, he or
she can refer you to lenders best
qualified to help you. Most lenders --
banks and mortgage companies -- offer
limited choices.
|
|
2. |
Your
REALTOR® has many resources to assist
you in your home search. Sometimes the
property you are seeking is available
but not actively advertised in the
market, and it will take some
investigation by your agent to find all
available properties. |
|
3. |
Your
REALTOR® can assist you in the selection
process by providing objective
information about each property. Agents
who are REALTORS® have access to a
variety of informational resources.
REALTORS® can provide local community
information on utilities, zoning.
schools, etc. 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? |
|
4. |
Your
REALTOR® can help you negotiate. There
are myriad negotiating factors,
including but not limited to price,
financing, terms, date of possession and
often the inclusion or exclusion of
repairs and furnishings or equipment.
The purchase agreement should provide a
period of time for you to complete
appropriate inspections and
investigations of the property before
you are bound to complete the purchase.
Your agent can advise you as to which
investigations and inspections are
recommended or required. |
|
5. |
Your
REALTOR® provides due diligence during
the evaluation of the property.
Depending on the area and property, this
could include inspections for termites,
dry rot, asbestos, faulty structure,
roof condition, septic tank and well
tests, just to name a few. Your REALTOR®
can assist you in finding qualified
responsible professionals to do most of
these investigations and provide you
with written reports. You will also want
to see a preliminary report on the title
of the property. Title indicates
ownership of property and can be mired
in confusing status of past owners or
rights of access. The title to most
properties will have some limitations;
for example, easements (access rights)
for utilities. Your REALTOR®, title
company or attorney can help you resolve
issues that might cause problems at a
later date. |
|
6. |
Your
REALTOR® can help you in understanding
different financing options and in
identifying qualified lenders.
|
|
7. |
Your
REALTOR® can guide you through the
closing process and make sure everything
flows together smoothly.
|
|
8. |
When
selling your home, your REALTOR® 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. |
|
9.
|
Your
REALTOR® markets your property to other
real estate agents and the public.
Often, your REALTOR® can recommend
repairs or cosmetic work that will
significantly enhance the salability of
your property. Your REALTOR® markets
your property to other real estate
agents and the public. In many markets
across the country, over 50% of real
estate sales are cooperative sales; that
is, a real estate agent other than yours
brings in the buyer. Your REALTOR® acts
as the marketing coordinator, disbursing
information about your property to other
real estate agents through a Multiple
Listing Service or other cooperative
marketing networks, open houses for
agents, etc. The REALTOR® Code of Ethics
requires REALTORS® to utilize these
cooperative relationships when they
benefit their clients. |
|
10. |
Your
REALTOR® will know when, where and how
to advertise your property. There is a
misconception that advertising sells
real estate. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS® studies show that 82% of real
estate sales are the result of agent
contacts through previous clients,
referrals, friends, family and personal
contacts. When a property is marketed
with the help of your REALTOR®, you do
not have to allow strangers into your
home. Your REALTOR® will generally
prescreen and accompany qualified
prospects through your property.
|
|
11. |
Your
REALTOR® can help you objectively
evaluate every buyer's proposal without
compromising your marketing position.
This initial agreement is only the
beginning of a process of appraisals,
inspections and financing -- a lot of
possible pitfalls. Your REALTOR® can
help you write a legally binding,
win-win agreement that will be more
likely to make it through the process. |
|
12. |
Your
REALTOR® can help close the sale of your
home. Between the initial sales
agreement and closing (or settlement),
questions may arise. For example,
unexpected repairs are required to
obtain financing or a cloud in the title
is discovered. The required paperwork
alone is overwhelming for most sellers.
Your REALTOR® is the best person to
objectively help you resolve these
issues and move the transaction to
closing (or settlement).
