Hiring a Neighborhood Specialist
Sometimes Buyers and
Sellers hire agents who work outside of an area. Working with an agent who
doesn't have intimate knowledge of the neighborhood can hurt a buyer or a
Seller. For example, here are 12 pieces of crucial information that a
neighborhood specialist will undoubtedly know, whereas an out-of-area real
estate agent may not:
·
History of neighborhood homes, who owned them and when
·
Which homes were previously on the market outside of MLS data
·
What makes some homes on a street worth more than others
·
Which streets are considered desirable and which are not
·
Neighborhood nuisances and their influence on value
·
Special retrofits exclusive to the community
·
How to accurately price homes and
determine specific values
·
Which agents take listings at market and who takes overpriced listings
·
Listing agent's reputations and how to negotiate with
certain agents
·
Pending legislation or neighborhood enforcement of
regulations
·
How to get inside information from listing agents,
because they know each other
·
New inventory that is not yet on the market but coming
Buyers and Sellers deserve complete
disclosure and to receive pertinent information that often only a neighborhood
specialist can provide. Neighborhood specialists know which home
inspections should be performed that are particular to the area, and
they can refer local inspectors and contractors.
