Why Do You Need a San Diego Realtor?

Sellers

While some sellers in San Diego choose to sell property "on their own" in order to avoid having to pay a real estate commission, if you are unsure about what you're getting into you may end up paying far more than the commission. In fact, the commission is really the price you pay for "peace of mind." As Warren Buffet says: "Price is what you pay, VALUE is what you get". With the way property is moving locally, it is important to work with someone familiar with all of the legalities and someone who can get you the best price for your home.

Buyers

For buyers, a Realtor essentially eliminates much of the legwork involved in finding your next home. The process can be extremely time consuming and frustrating -- which is why it's so critical to find yourself an experienced Realtor, like Paul Williams of The Williams Team, who possesses an intimate knowledge of local-market conditions and understand which properties represent the best investment. With the unprecedented rise in foreclosures and short sales it is essential that you select a Realtor who is intimately familiar with working with banks when presenting offers on foreclosed homes or homes that are upside-down in equity.

An experienced Realtor, such as Paul Williams, will provide the following:

• Marketing and Advertising properties both to other Realtors and prospective buyers on the MLS as well as through other local and regional media including Internet and other effective opportunities.
• Creating marketing strategies to sell properties based on accurate information and an intimate understanding about each property.
• Holding and supervising open houses in various properties in the San Diego market.
• Providing recommendations and information about various neighborhoods and properties in San Diego that fit within a buyer's price range and individual preferences/lifestyle needs.
• Accurately estimating the true market value of the seller's home.
• Drawing up the contract and negotiating its terms.
• Offering guidance to buyers needing financing.
• Coordinating and handling all issues related to the inspection.
• Coordinating appraisals and contingency dates.
• Negotiating offers and counteroffers.
• Screening prospective buyers and reviewing their offers before an acceptance by the seller.
• Assisting the seller when contract contingencies -- for example, furnace repair, new carpet installation, etc. -- are required.
• Coordinating details of the closing day.
• Peace of Mind!
