Having an experienced agent to guide you through buying or selling your home is essential in a regular market – but today’s hot housing market is far from ordinary. With bidding wars becoming the norm, finding the right agent to work with your goals is essential.
The market has changed a lot in the last couple of years, and for at least the next handful of years, available houses will continue to move quickly due to supply shortages. Therefore it is critical to enlist the help of an experienced agent to get the most value out of your efforts to buy or sell your home. The good news is that finding a qualified agent to assist you in one of the most important financial decisions in your life is easier than you think.
The Right Real Estate Agent
Today’s superheated housing market is unlike anything that has occurred previously. With leading experts speculating that mortgage rates will continue to rise this year, significant demand for homes will only increase as buyers seek to make their purchases before rates climb even higher. At the same time, there is never-before-seen record-low housing inventory. These two facets create an imbalance in supply and demand, resulting in bidding wars that accelerate home price appreciation and cause considerable gains in home equity.
In today’s market, knowledge is power, and a good agent will effectively explain market conditions and what they mean for you. Acting as a buffer throughout negotiations, your agent handles communications with all parties throughout the transaction and advocates for your best interests. In addition, agents help with the necessary disclosures and contracts in today’s heavily regulated environment.
Market conditions like this can feel overwhelming, and having a trusted expert to guide you through buying or selling your home provides clarity and confidence through each step.
What’s the key to choosing the right expert?
It begins with trust. But to trust the advice that an agent is giving you, you need to make sure that you’ve done your homework beforehand. At the same time, no one can provide perfect advice because it’s impossible to know exactly what will happen. However, a true professional will give you the best possible advice based on available information. From making the necessary adjustments and advocating for you throughout the process to guiding you to make confident decisions, a professional agent communicates frequently and clearly because that’s what you want and deserve.
