In recent years, buyers have been empowered by having access to the MLS through websites like Trulia, Zillow and Realtor.com. This is a good thing because buyers are usually well-informed when they show up to see a house. The problem is buyers don&#8217;t often realize how complicated a real estate transaction can be. In a market like this, buyers often think they don&#8217;t need a realtor&#8217;s help to purchase and think without bringing a realtor in they will get a better deal. Sometimes you can, but in reality the expertise a realtor brings to the table can actually save you money. While an attorney will charge you by the hour, you have as much of the realtor&#8217;s time as you need at no extra cost. So call your realtor, or if you don&#8217;t have one, I would love to help.
