For Buyers

Using a REALTOR® when Buying Your Home

For most of us, a home is the single biggest purchase in our lives. Finding the right home to fit our particular needs is no easy task. Just as you wouldn't buy a car or computer without doing research into various models and prices, you shouldn't consider purchasing a home without expert advice and guidance. REALTORs® are those experts.

For instance, a REALTOR® can help you determine how much home you can afford. Help you get pre-approved for a loan. A REALTOR® also is an expert on the neighborhood you desire and can provide detailed information about schools, transportation, local taxes and community characteristics. Using a REALTOR® is also one way of gaining access to homes listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which gives us the widest possible selection of potential properties for you to consider. This also gives us sales information about properties that have or are for sale, which helps in making good offers. As REALTORs® we serve as the "go between" you and the seller. We bring negotiating expertise and knowledge about required disclosures and the housing market.

We belong to the Plymouth & South Shore Association of REALTORS®, the National Association of REALTORS® and the Multiple Listing Service.
