🔑 Why Having a Realtor in Your Corner Matters More Than Ever in 2025

In the age of Zillow searches, YouTube walkthroughs, and DIY everything, it might seem like buying or selling a home without a Realtor is easier than ever. But the truth? Real estate has never been more complex, and having a trusted expert on your side can make all the difference—especially in 2025’s fast-moving, high-stakes market.

Here’s why working with a Realtor (like me!) isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

🧠 1. Real-Time Market Insight

The market shifts constantly. Mortgage rates, inventory levels, buyer behavior—all of it can change from month to month, even week to week. I stay on top of the trends so you don’t have to. Whether it's pricing your home correctly or knowing when to make an aggressive offer, local expertise is your advantage.

💼 2. Negotiation Is a Skill—And I Do It Daily

Negotiating isn't just about the sale price. It's also about:

• Contingencies

• Repairs

• Appraisal gaps

• Closing costs

• Timing

I’ve negotiated dozens (or hundreds) of deals—each one with its own unique hurdles. That experience protects your money, time, and peace of mind.

🔍 3. Paperwork, Deadlines & Legal Protection

The average real estate transaction involves multiple contracts, disclosures, inspections, and deadlines. One missed document or unchecked box could delay closing—or worse, cost you the deal. I handle the details so you don’t risk costly mistakes.

🤝 4. Network & Connections You Can Trust

Need a trustworthy lender? Inspector? Contractor? I’ve built relationships with vetted local professionals who can help with every step of the process—before and after the sale.

🛠️ 5. Support Beyond the Sale

A great Realtor doesn’t disappear after closing. Whether you're wondering what your home is worth a year from now, or you need a referral for a good handyman, I’m just a call or text away.
