Running on Real Estate for July 17
Buying and selling a home is a big deal. It’s stressful, it’s complicated and it’s all consuming. That’s where we come in. Trained, experienced and presumably talented, real estate professionals serve a vital role in the transaction. Whether we represent the buyer or the seller, or even a renter, our responsibility is to advocate on our client’s behalf. Even though we serve to make the entire process as simple and successful as possible, taking the burden of work off our clients’ shoulders, there’s another point of view.
The reality of the situation is this: Many people still believe they don’t need a real estate expert to guide them through buying and selling, or even renting, a home. With so much information easily accessible on- and off-line, they feel they can go it alone. That’s tricky. Sure, you can save a few bucks on brokers’ commissions, but why take the risk on such an important transaction? There is no need. We’re lining up to be of service. In New York, there are more licensed real estate pros than available inventory. To be exact, there are nearly 50,000 of us (brokers and salespeople) in all five boroughs combined.
For most people, buying a home is the biggest purchase they will make in a lifetime. This emotional and detailed process requires professional assistance. Same goes for selling a home. Renting is different, but it still helps to be represented by a real estate pro to find the right apartment and negotiate the right agreement. We are here to help. We want to help.
