Buying, selling or renting a home is an exciting and important life event – and it’s also one of life’s most stressful. It can even be more stressful than a breakup, planning a wedding, getting fired or becoming a parent. At Davidson Realty, we have over 30 years of experience serving Northeast Florida, and we know how important it is to work with a trusted, skilled professional. With our expertise, we’ll take care of it all — guaranteeing your experience is seamless and rewarding. Here are our Top 5 Reasons to Hire a Real Estate Agent, to make one of life’s most overwhelming processes an enjoyable one.  

1. Gain a trusted advocate: Hiring an agent means gaining a trusted adviser, one that is there to ensure that you’re getting the best deal – not overpaying or under selling. They are there as a guide to meet your needs and objectives, negotiate terms and represent your transaction for your best interest.
2. Have local knowledge and expertise: Real estate agents pride themselves on knowing the cities they sell and buy in best. They are masters in evaluating the prices and values of homes, finding comparables, having insights to trends and neighborhood statistics – and are well versed in legal forms, disclosures and financial documentation – making a complicated process much more simple.
3. Connect with the best and most reputable professionals: There is so much more to finding a home to purchase or selling the home you have. With home inspections, repairs needed and bank lending, there is usually a whole team required to finalize a transaction. Agents know local amenities, utilities, zoning requirements and housing rules and regulations – and they also have their own trusted, ethical professionals that they love to work with, including inspectors, pest control, skilled tradesmen and lenders. Hiring an agent means you get insight and access to their trusted team. 
4. Access exclusive properties: Finding a home on Zillow, Redfin or Opendoor doesn’t always mean you’re seeing the most active listing or seeing the most recent information. Agents have access to properties that you often can’t find, whether they’re exclusive listings, for sale by owner, off market, prelisted or expired. Agents also have insight into the histories of properties, and have connections to homes that never make it online. And with their years of experience, they have a portfolio of connections, of people who may be interested in buying or selling.
5. Make a relationship for life: Hiring a real estate agent means hiring a friend for life. Even after the deal is done, agents are there for you for future questions and concerns – like homesteading, taxes and repairs. They are there to help your family and friends with their purchases and sales, knowing that you can refer your favorite people to someone you trust most.
