What exactly does a realtor do?

By law, realtors are required to:

• Perform certain mandatory and standard acts to help out with the purchase or sale of real estate.
• Properly account for the money or alternative property placed in her or his attention.
• Disclose untoward material facts that are, or should be, inside the broker’s knowledge.

Realtors can assist sellers by screening potential home buyers and by helping them prepare their homes in order to list them on the market. Realtors can also assist buyers by showing investors suitable properties for their risk profiles and long-term investment goals.

The agents at Nesbitt Realty can quickly locate the perfect home for you through efficiently organizing and coordinating meetings with sellers and potential buyers. Our realtors stay informed about all the important aspects of an area that you might consider when purchasing a home. These may include the following:

• the quality of schools,
• association fees,
• Metro availability,
• community amenities such as shops, parks, and restaurants.

When homes are listed on the market, our brokers have immediate access to them, which saves home buyers hours of time that is otherwise wasted driving around. Our realtors will help you save money on your negotiations, will explain and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of different types of mortgages, and will guide you through all the necessary paperwork when you are ready to make an offer on a home.

 

How does a Realtor determine list price?

When it comes to buying a home, most potential buyers will use the listing price to as the number one factor to determine the homes that they look at. Even though you and your Realtor may determine the asking price, the buyer will determine the selling price. If the price is too high, most buyers won’t visit the property and won’t consider buying the property – which is why you want to determine the listing price carefully.

At Nesbitt Realty we use our experience, our local knowledge and a software resource called Realtors Property Resource®. Our agents can very accurately predict the sales price of any home, townhouse or condominium in Northern Virginia. We can show you the data points we use and let you see our assumptions, tweaking them when you disagree so that you’ll understand the science of how we make our recommendation. Knowing the value of your property is one of the most important parts of selling your home.

It is essential that you, as a potential renter, know what you need.  Some people are simply looking for a place to eat, sleep, and shower while others are looking for a lifestyle or a space that will accommodate various activities, such as working, entertaining, and hobbies. Think about what the space needs to do for you and make a list of your specific requirements. For example, do you need built-in kitchen appliances? Is a washer and dryer essential or is there a laundry nearby? Do you need easy access to the metro or do you need parking for a car? These are questions that only you may answer. Another important aspect is the all-important budget. What will your money get you and what are you prepared to sacrifice to stay within budget?

Remember when you assess your requirements to differentiate between wants and needs because, unfortunately, you will most likely have to make a compromise somewhere. Your needs are the essentials that you are not able to survive without and your wants are those little extras that make your life more comfortable but are not essential. Take your list of requirements and write your wants and needs in different colors. Then, rank them in order of importance. Remember your needs are always more important than your wants. [Read more about Rental Agents.]
