Not long ago, experts were predicting the Internet would render real estate agents obsolete. Well, that prediction was about as accurate as the four-day workweek. The fact is that the Internet, indeed, has made information more widely accessible to buyers and sellers alike. There are Web sites that provide lists of available properties, mortgage information, and community facts. Prospective buyers can even take virtual tours of properties in which they are interested.
All of these services save consumers and real estate professionals time and money. Nevertheless, all these services are linked to professionals who make the real connection with consumers. Buyers still need someone to take them to homes, just as sellers need someone to help them determine asking prices.
Hint: You can get health information online, and you can get real estate information on the Web. But you would not make an important medical diagnosis without the help of a doctor, as most people would not buy a home without using a real estate agent.
When selling or purchasing property, the assistance of an experienced real estate professional is a critical factor. As Principal Broker of Century21 VantagePoint Realty, I have extensive knowledge of the community and can assist you in determining what properties may best fit your needs. If you are selling, I can provide you with a free competitive market analysis of your property. If you are a buyer, let me show you a wide variety of homes. I have access to all of the properties listed through the Multiple Listing Service. I am an active member of the Columbia Greene Board of Realtors.
