Do hire a Realtor. Buying a house is quite complicated and hiring a Realtor can make it easier for you. Realtors are skilled negotiators with other agents, expert financial advisors with clients and superb navigators around the neighborhood. They can save you huge amount of money and time.
A knowledgeable Realtor can tell you the general and specific information about the community such as schools, shopping locations, transportation, local market conditions, neighborhood profiles, local tax laws and crime rates.
A knowledgeable Realtor can help you find the best lenders in the area. He or she can also discuss down payments, closing costs and monthly payment options that suit you.
An experienced Realtor has all the resources from sale by owner (FSBO) listings to access to Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The more access he has to other properties, the easier for you to find a home. Furthermore, once you find the house that you are planning to purchase, the Realtor will be able to negotiate the best price for you.
The good thing about having a Realtor is that their services are free! It is the seller who pays the commission to the Realtor.
