Do I Need a Real Estate Agent? The Importance of a St. Louis Realtor

April 14, 2016 by Sean Zalmanoff

Finding the right home for you and your family is not as easy as it looks. You need the assistance of an experienced real estate agent!

do i need a real estate agent in ST. Louis

We live in a very “do-it-yourself” society. There is a whole cable channel devoted to DIY home projects. What was once someone’s area of expertise, is now reduced to watching how to do it yourself on a YouTube video.

What about when it comes to buying a home – should you do it yourself? It is a valid question since there is a recent proliferation of services that can help you complete your own real estate transactions. And after-all, couldn’t you save yourself the commission rates that most realtor’s ask?

Well, it may surprise you but going solo may end up costing you more than those commission fees do. The fact is, finding the right home for you and your family is not as easy as it looks. You need the assistance of an experienced real estate agent!

Reasons Why You Still Need a Real Estate Agent

The St. Louis metro area is loaded with magnificent homes, excellent school districts, sporting events, beautiful parks and unique dining experiences. It is important to find a home in the right neighborhood that lets you conveniently experience this great city. There is a lot more to a home than just the price! Having an expert realtor’s input and experience is invaluable.

Here are a few reasons why this is one project you don’t want to do yourself:

  • They have easy access to all the properties in the right areas.
  • They are experts at finding the homes that meet your criteria, getting in touch with the sellers’ agents, and making the appointments for you.
  • They do all the negotiating for you.
  • They handle contracts on a regular basis. They know which ones should be used, when they can be removed safely, and how to use them to protect you.
