Why An Agent is Your Best Friend When Buying or Selling a Home
No matter how you slice it, buying or selling a home is a big decision. And when you’re going through any change in your life and you need some guidance, what do you do? You get advice from people who know what they’re talking about.
Moving is no exception. You need insights from the pros to help you feel confident in your decision. Freddie Mac explains it like this:
“As you set out to find the right home for your family, be sure to select experienced, trusted professionals who will help you make informed decisions and avoid pitfalls.”
And while perfect advice isn’t possible – not even from the experts, what you can get is the very best advice out there.
The Power of Expert Advice
For example, let’s say you need an attorney. You start off by finding an expert in the type of law required for your case. Once you do, they won’t immediately tell you how the case is going to end, or how the judge or jury will rule. But what a good attorney can do is walk you through the most effective strategies based on their experience and help you put a plan together. They’ll even use their knowledge to adjust that plan as new information becomes available.
The job of a real estate agent is similar. Just like you can’t find a lawyer to give you perfect advice, you won’t find a real estate professional who can either. That’s because it’s impossible to know everything that’s going to happen throughout your transaction. Their role is to give you the best advice they can.
To do that, an agent will draw on their experience, industry knowledge, and market data. They know the latest trends, the ins and outs of the homebuying and selling processes, and what’s worked for other people in the same situation as you.
With that expertise, a real estate advisor can anticipate what could happen next and work with you to put together a solid plan. Then, they’ll guide you through the process, helping you make decisions along the way. That’s the very definition of getting the best – not perfect – advice. And that’s the power of working with a real estate advisor.
Bottom Line
If you’re looking to buy or sell a home, you want an expert on your side to help you each step of the way. Connect with a real estate professional so you have advice you can count on. Connect with us!

NEW Television Entertainment Center Ideas !!
Looking at a new home with Buyers and frequently the thought goes to 'Where am I going to put my TV?' When my first husband and I were looking for homes in Valencia, back in 1993, we distinctly passed on one since our ginormous television wouldn't fit in the living room. It was one of those rear projection TV's. So modern back then!
Then it progressed to the flat screen televisions. Entertainment centers, over fireplaces. But, we often still wonder how we can make the TV not really the focus of that wall, right? Well, for some members of the family I'm right. Hah!
These were some beautiful ideas from HOUZZ designers. The full article is in the link below the photos.
This reminded me of a movie theater in a fancy airplane!
One of our favorite parts of being a Realtor is seeing other peoples homes. Looking for design ideas for ourselves and for our clients as well. If you're a Realtor though, you know, the most favorite part is making someone's home dreams come true. 💗

When Should You Make A Low-Ball Offer?
We generally see investors make a lot of low-ball offers. They don't care if they get the house or not, on to the next if their offer is rejected.
Buyers that are planning on living in the home, they want to write an offer on, usually are more readily open to NOT writing a low-ball offer. They want to get the house so they certainly want to get their offer accepted.
