Why Buyers Need Qualified Gilbert Real Estate Agents
Whether you’re looking to upsize, downsize or relocate from another part of the state or beyond, finding the perfect home in Gilbert, AZ for your family without a REALTOR® can feel overwhelming at best, especially when you’re unfamiliar with the lay of the land. There are a lot of moving parts that go into buying a home and qualified Gilbert real estate agents hold the key to uncovering the most valuable homes for sale in Gilbert, negotiating the best terms and price possible, and facilitating a smooth and successful transaction. Without the assistance of a qualified agent, you can search Gilbert MLS listings and get a sampling of what’s available, but you’ll have to research whether asking prices are justified based on comparable home sales in the area. You'll also have to negotiate an offer including the price and other clauses and contingencies in the purchase agreement; navigate the home inspection and negotiate repairs or credits with the seller; decipher paperwork that could be filled with complicated terms you don’t fully understand, and request and review seller disclosures. By hiring a skilled Gilbert real estate agent, you'll have someone who can guide you through every step of the home buying process. Cathy Carter has over two decades of experience working with buyers and sellers in Gilbert and the surrounding area. Her years of experience and expertise in the local market will give you the assurance you need for making the best home purchase decision.
