6 Reasons You Should Work With a Realtor

You’ve watched every episode of House Hunters. You have perfected the art of stalking Zillow listings. You feel like you are totally crushing this whole real estate thing. I mean, after all, any information you could possibly need is a few clicks away online, right? 

Oh, home buyer or seller….we know you can do it. But that doesn’t mean you should do it on your own. This is likely the biggest financial decision of your whole life, and you;ll want to work with The Jennifer De La Rosa Group if you want it done right. 

1. Experience

Real Estate has it’s own language. Looking for a SFR 3x2 with a W/D? We can help with that! On top of a language barrier, there are also forms, reports and disclosures that all make up the documents processed and created throughout a transaction. Did we mention timelines? And management of those timelines? We have proven systems built out that we use in each transaction to ensure you are getting all the information you need at the time you need it to move forward and feel good about your decisions. 

2. Home Search

Don’t get me wrong, home search sites are awe-some! But did you know they are syndicated off of listings posted on the MLS? Some of those sites have delays in updates and postings. So in a hot market like this, that could cost you your dream home. We are also very familiar with the area and may know of a neighborhood that you don’t or didn’t think to consider. Trust us, it happens. 

3. Marketing

I know it seems easy to do marketing. But it is anything but! We have workflows that are akin to a well oiled machine that we launch when you say you are ready to list. Professional photogrpahy, videography, drone, social media, blogs, email, listing syndications and more. Kick back and focus on packing and thinking about what you want in your next home, and let us do the heavy lifting. 

4. Negotiations

Whether you are buying or selling, negotiations are involved in the transaction. And in a hot market, the negotiations can sometimes be even hotter. There will be competition, cutthroat tactics, cash offers, and potentially bidding wars. It’s not all about how much money you are spending or netting. We also look at things like time for inspections, contingencies, and anything else that may be crucial to your needs or the deal. You want a savvy Certified Negotiation Expert on your side to secure the best deal for you, don’t you? 

5. Connections 

It sometimes is all about who you know. And we know a lot of people. Not only is Jennifer a Howard County native, but she has been in the real estate industry for 15 years and was in the loan origination field before that. Lenders, inspectors, stagers, contractors--the list goes on--you name it we have a connection. 

6. All-In-One Solution

We may be salespeople, but we do a lot of things behind the scenes to earn our commission. A Realtor wears a lot of different hats. We drive around checking on listings and viewing properties with you. We spend our own money to market your home (if you’re selling). We research comps to make sure you are getting the best deal. And did we mention we are 

If you are thinking about buying or selling, or if you know someone who is…we should talk. Let me tell you why working with us ROCKS!
