Find a professional REALTOR to represent you. Dont work with a real estate wannabe. What do I mean?
- DONT use your friend who has a real estate license just so he can help his or her friends buy a house.
- DONT use the retiree who got their license just so they can do a deal or two with people they run into at the clubhouse in between golf games.
- DONT do business with the Happy Hour Host passing out cards to out of town visitors.
- DO work with a Full-Time Professional Real Estate Agent.
Are there some Semi-Retired agents that can help you find a new home? Certainly, but only a full time working REALTOR who specializes in helping people just like you can really do the job. Its a big decision and a major investment. This is a fast changing business with new communities, a host of different builders, low inventory of resale homes and many different options you may have never considered.
