Steiner Ranch Real Estate

Qs: REALTORS® are great for people who want to avoid the hassle, but I’m an educated, do-it-yourselfer. What harm is there in cutting out the middleman?

Most sellers who begin the process without representation by a REALTOR® end up by listing in the end, as evidenced by a recent National Association of REALTORS® survey that found only 11 percent of sellers actually sell on their own. Real estate transactions are fraught with potential liability and it’s easy for consumers to stumble into legal trouble. A seller that overlooks even one required form or legally mandated disclosure could face a lengthy and expensive buyer lawsuit after the transaction closes. Working with a REALTOR® ensures every part of the transaction is compliant with real estate law and can help you avoid the many pitfalls possible between the initial sales agreement and closing on the home.
