Whether you’re buying your first Napa Valley home or have gone through the home buying process many times, you need a Realtor early in the process rather than later. In fact, anyone who has bought or sold a Napa Valley home will tell you that the real estate market here is very competitive.
For home buyers, this means that having a licensed Realtor working for you will make the home buying process much less stressful. It will also increase your chance of getting your dream home. Following are the key benefits of working with a Realtor when searching for your perfect Napa Valley home.
1. Knows the area and can help you locate homes that meet your criteria. Why spend hours scanning online home listings only to learn that the homes you want to see are already sold? Chances are you have better things to do with your time. Instead, you can rely on your Realtor’s breadth of knowledge and have them give you the “short list” of homes that are currently available and that best meet your criteria.
2. Helps you craft the perfect offer. Because the market is so competitive, you may get only one chance to submit your best offer. Multiple offers on a property are common, which means sellers have little motivation to do counteroffers. Your real estate agent can help you structure your offer so it has the highest chance of being accepted.
3. Coordinates the many aspects of the sale for you. Once your offer is accepted, there are multiple people and tasks to coordinate before the sale is complete. Few people have the know-how, patience, or time to deal with all the details. Your Realtor, on the other hand, is skilled at these steps and will coordinate them all for you.
