Why use Wilson Realty & Auction as your trusted real estate advisor?
All real estate companies are not the same. Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today can range from $50,000 up to several million. If you had a $100,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If you had a $300,000 legal question, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney? Considering the the large risk in buying or selling property on your own, it would be foolish to consider a deal in real estate without help of a realtor from Wilson Realty & Auction.But if you're still not convinced of the value of a Wilson Realty & Auction realtor, here are a few reasons to use us:
• We can help you determine your buying power, your financial reserves plus your borrowing capacity. Give us some basic information about your available savings, income and current debt, and we can refer you to lenders best qualified to help you.
• We can assist you in the selection process by providing objective information about each property. We have access to a variety of informational resources, and can provide local community information on utilities, zoning. schools, etc. There are two things you'll want to know. First, will the property fit the needs I want for a home or investment? Second, will the property have resale value when I am ready to sell?
• We can help you negotiate. There are several negotiating factors, including price, financing, terms, date of possession and often the inclusion or exclusion of repairs, furnishings or equipment. The purchase agreement should provide a period of time for you to complete appropriate inspections and investigations of the property before you are bound to complete the purchase. We can advise you as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or required by a lender.
• We can provide due diligence during the evaluation of the property. Depending on the area and property, this could include inspections for termites, dry rot, asbestos, faulty structure, roof condition, septic tank and well tests, just to name a few. We can assist you in finding qualified responsible professionals to do most of these investigations and provide you with written reports.
• We can market your property to other real estate agents and the public. We will also recommend repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the salability of your property. We can act as the marketing coordinator, providing information about your property to other real estate agents through a Multiple Listing Service, open houses for agents, and unique advertising.
• We can evaluate every buyer's proposal without compromising your marketing position. This initial offer is only the beginning of a process of appraisals, inspections and financing and a lot of possible questions or pitfalls. We can help you write a legally binding agreement that will be more likely to make it through the process.
• Finally, we can help close the sale of your home. Between the initial offer and final closing many questions may arise. For example, unexpected repairs are required to obtain financing or a problem in the title is discovered. The required paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. We are the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and move the transaction to closing.
