Why Hire A REALTOR

Many times people have the idea to buy or sell real estate on their own.  For some its brilliant as they can save thousands on their commission but the problem is that sometimes problems arise and the same buyers and sellers who thought it would be no problem on their own run into trouble and the first thing they do is call a REALTOR.

As a professional REALTOR I am here to tell you its important to hire someone who can look out for your best interest.  In most cases, those who choose to go For Sale By Owner or those who attempt to buy a property on their own end up using a real estate agent.
