Why use a Realtor?
Is it necessary to buy a house through a Realtor? Although you are not legally required to, why would
you undertake such an important purchase without the help of an expert? The Realtor's expert
knowledge of the neighbourhood, future development plans, taxes, zoning, transportation, schools
and community services will help you select the property that meets your needs. Your Realtor will
also advise you on financing options and recommend other professionals needed to complete the sale.
You will be dealing with sellers and their agents, so you want to make sure you have someone who
will represent and promote your interests.
