According to an article written by their "First Lady of Finance, Michelle Dillingham, and printed in the Sacramento Bee, Sunday, March 10, 2002, there are a multitude of reasons why you should work with your own real estate professional.

"Houses are selling very fast.......and interest rates are very low." There is an axiom in real estate that are three prime elements in looking for a property: location, location, and location. And there are an additional three keys to getting the sale or the refinance closed: relationship, relationship, relationship.

With the current market, buyers being plentiful and houses in short supply, what's the incentive in using an agent? "The simple answer is that getting the buyer is only a small part of what the real estate agent does for the seller". The real estate professional starts with the expertise of marketing your home properly, providing suggestions on ways to make the property more attractive. The real estate professional will know the FHA or VA parameters for passing their appraisals and the real estate professional will know the market values and can set the best price at which to list the home.

Once the agent receives an offer, he or she will guide you through the negotiations, set up the escrow, and schedule all pertinent inspections. The real estate professional works with title companies, termite companies, home inspectors, and appraisers all the time and has established a close relationship with the people that allow them to get quick and appropriate results. The real estate professional knows the lending market and can target the special programs available in this area that provide effective results.

In real estate sales, time is of the essence, and it all comes down to relationship. The real estate professional has established his or her network of individuals and businesses who work together in a symbiotic relationship to get the job done as quickly and as effectively as possible. And isn't that the point of selling your home? Why take a chance on losing the market or the sale? Call Clyde today: 208 442-7310 or cell phone (916) 284-5626.
