Why Use A Realtor? – Experience vs Information

HGTV, Mike Holmes, Google, or Facebook. Take your pick. They have altered the real estate industry forever. Buyers & sellers have all sorts of information at their fingertips. How does a Real Estate Agent stay relevant in this climate? What do we have to offer? Experience!

With over 15 years combined in the industry, The Odland & Blair Real Estate Group have experienced all kinds of market conditions and the objections that go with them. Countless home inspections, mortgage appraisals, permit issues, lawyer issues, tenants problems. You name it, we have seen it.

So where is the value in a Real Estate Agent? Clients and potential clients can Google just about anything and get the information they are looking for. What they cannot get from Google is expert insight!

Insight is simply information with value added to it. That value might be experience or important details that only you have access to. It could be your ability to take something complex and make it more easily understood. Insight is information that clients don’t know they don’t know.

Insights Realtors Can Offer

What’s a sales-to-listing ratio?
What does that mean to the price I put on my home?
