Unlocking the Secrets to Home Buying: Real Estate Tips with Jonas
When it comes to home buying, many buyers find themselves missing out on great properties. Jonas Helbert from Streetlight Realty explains why this happens and how you can avoid it in a fast-moving real estate market.
The Challenge with Popular Real Estate Websites
Many home seekers use popular websites like Zillow, Trulia, or Realtor.com to find their dream home. While these sites are user-friendly, they often lag behind the most current listings found on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), where real estate agents upload new listings. By the time a property appears on these popular sites, it might already be under contract.
Why You Need a Real Estate Agent
To stay ahead, it’s crucial to partner with a dedicated real estate agent. A good agent has direct access to the MLS and can send you updates as soon as properties hit the market. This means you can view homes and make offers before many other buyers even know the house is available.
Don’t Just Click—Connect!
Clicking the “get more information” button on listings might seem like a good start, but it can lead to being bombarded with calls from multiple agents. To truly get ahead, establish a committed relationship with one real estate agent who understands your needs and preferences. This personal connection ensures you receive tailored property alerts that fit your criteria, reducing the noise and helping you focus on homes that truly meet your needs.
Choose the Right Agent
Choosing the right agent is more than just finding someone with access to the best listings. It’s about finding someone you trust and who is committed to helping you through the home buying process. A great agent will not only provide timely property updates but also guide you from searching to closing, ensuring you’re prepared and confident in your home buying journey.
Stay Prepared and Move Fast
In today’s market, it’s not just about finding the right home, but also being ready to act quickly. This means having your financing in order and being ready to make a compelling offer as soon as you find the right property. Your real estate agent can help you get pre-approved and understand what’s necessary to make a strong offer.
Make the Most of Your Home Search
Remember, the best way to find your dream home is by working closely with a real estate agent who can navigate the complexities of the market and advocate for your interests. Avoid relying solely on online listings and connect with an expert who can provide real-time, accurate, and personalized information.
