The Realtor devotes considerable time and effort to locating the right property, preparing the offer, recommending financing options and negotiating the deal. The Realtor assists the buyer in all aspects of the complex home buying process, beginning with an interview to clarify the buyer's preferences. How many bedrooms and bathrooms are required? What neighborhoods is the buyer most interested in? Would a "fixer-upper" be interesting, or is a newer home the only option? What are the "must-have" amenities? After evaluating the buyer's needs, the Realtor targets a selection of local listings in the appropriate areas, often using his or her connections with other local real estate professionals to discover unique listings that will please the buyer. The agent saves their clients time by screening properties before offering the buyer a showing. Once the perfect house is found, the Realtor helps the buyer achieve the goal of home ownership.
