Three Reasons You Need a Tucson Realtor

February 25, 2014

With the real estate market on an upswing many sellers are trying to decide whether they truly need a Tucson Realtor to sell their home. The truth is that there are many advantages to hiring a Tucson Realtor to sell your home. Here are three of the most important reasons to have a Realtor on your side.
While listing your house as a “for sale by owner” may bring in a lot of foot traffic, many sellers find that most people that look at the home are not serious buyers. They are usually curious individuals that are considering selling their house in the future. Your Tucson Realtor can help to filter out the people that are looking at your house so that you are only getting your home show-ready for potential buyers. As a general rule, only serious buyers will choose to work with a Tucson Realtor to buy a home.
A Tucson Realtor is also important when setting the price of your home. You may have access to the asking price of surrounding homes, but you don’t have that same access to the actual selling price of the home. That is where the bank will get their information on the value of your home, and you need that information as well.
Finally, experience and education are key when it comes to selling a home. A Tucson Realtor will, on average, get 20 percent more income on a house than someone who chooses to sell their house alone. That will more than cover the commission of using a Tucson Realtor. In fact, if a potential buyer brings in a Realtor with them, you could have to pay some form of commission, even without an advocate on your side. It truly makes better sense to trust the home selling process to a Tucson Realtor.

Your Tucson Realtor Discusses Finding Your Perfect Neighborhood

February 18, 2014

Part of moving into a new home means that you accept your neighbors as part of your life as well. After all, you do share a lawn with them. When searching for a home with Tucson Realtor you should always keep in mind the neighborhood where you will be living. Here are a few tips to find the perfect neighborhood for you.
First, talk to your Tucson Realtor. He or she will know the neighborhoods in the city and can help narrow your neighborhood possibilities. Your Tucson Realtor can help you make a short list of all the neighborhoods that would work for your lifestyle.
Another way to get to know a neighborhood is to talk to your potential neighbors. You don’t need your Tucson Realtor with your when you talk to neighbors, but it can help you research the feel of the neighborhood.
While you are visiting your neighbors take time to look at the neighborhood as a whole. Talk with your Tucson Realtor to discover the amount of foreclosures in the neighborhood as excessive foreclosures can lead to vandalism and other problems that could make a neighborhood undesirable.
Visiting the neighborhood during different times of the day can help you get a good feel for the neighborhood as well. Finding neighbors that are close in age and lifestyle with you will often make a good fit.
Finally, you can research the house on the Internet. Information about schools and businesses nearby can all be found online. Google maps are also a valuable resource because you may be able to check out a neighborhood at a different season than you’re looking for home. You can see the neighborhood as a whole from the comfort of your own home.
Researching a neighborhood before you make an offer on a house with your Tucson Realtor can save you a lot of heartache. It can help you better judge the resale value on a home and can ensure that you will be happy in the home for years to come.
