5 Ways Your Realtor Saves the Day
When you’re buying or selling a house, there are a million details to make sense of along the way. And on top of that, unexpected emergencies and hassles are bound to arise. Keeping track of all these elements by yourself would be maddening. That’s why your Urban Nest Realtor is here to help the entire process go smoothly.
On top of showing homes and overseeing contracts, your Urban Nest Agent pulls astounding superhero moves left and right all day long. Here are just a few of the unexpected ways hard working realtors go the extra mile to assist their clients through the home buying and selling transaction.
1. Last Minute Details
As much as everyone wants to prepare for the process, last minute details are inevitable. Whether that means last minute home tours, meeting with a contractor while you’re at work or installing a carbon monoxide detector so a house can pass inspection, your Urban Nest agent knows that sometimes the best decision is to drop everything else and act quickly to save the day.
2. Making Sense of Complex Details
Even in the simplest of transactions, there is complex language and contracts. Your Urban Nest agent will put these terms into plain speak and help you make sense of them.
Our agents know complex contract details and have a support network here in the office so they can confirm details and help you make the best decisions possible in all aspects of the home buying and selling transaction.
3. Your Realtor is Your Advocate
No home buying or selling transaction is 100% straightforward. There are going to be aspects that need to be adjusted through the negotiation process. But how far should you push for what you want when negotiating? Your Urban Nest realtor will listen to your ideas and help make recommendations – then go to bat for you!
When you choose Urban Nest, you’re choosing an advocate that will help ensure you get the best and most fair deal possible, whether you’re buying or selling a home. These agents work hard to ensure their clients needs and best interests are met during every step of the transaction process. Trust your realtor, and lean on him or her.
4. Experts on Current Portland Housing Regulations
Portland housing regulations are continually changing to reflect a changing city, and it can be difficult to understand the increasingly complex laws. We don’t expect our clients to keep track of the latest details. That’s why our agents attend regular trainings and workshops, share information with each other and lean on our in-office experts to confirm details.
You can count on us to be current with the latest regulations and details you need to know when buying or selling a home, including details that relate to future development you may want to carry out, such as building an ADU (tiny home, mother-in-law suite, etc). If our agents don’t immediate know the answer, they have a team of experts in the office they can consult with. That’s an invaluable support network that comes with the package when you work with us!
5. We Stay Up-To-Date on Trends and the Portland Housing Market
Your Urban Nest Agent has a keen sense of the Portland housing market, and an intimate knowledge of the different neighborhoods. What’s the best neighborhood to buy a house in Portland? How much will your home’s value increase? What are similar homes valued at? How do you know if the home you want to buy is a good value? Should you hire a home stager when putting your house on the market?
Your realtor will talk with you at length about your goals and dreams, and help you make a well informed decision about the home you want to buy or sell in Portland.
