Working with a REALTOR®
Financing Your REALTOR® can help determine how much home you can afford and can investigate different financing options.

Selection He or she has the resources to investigate available properties and provide objective information about each property, neighbourhood, the community and other relevant issues.

Negotiation It takes special skills to negotiate successfully. Your REALTOR® can help you negotiate factors such as price, financing, terms, date of possession, chattels and repairs. In some cases a professional appraisal can provide some leverage in the negotiation process.

Inspection Your REALTOR® can help in negotiating enough time in the purchase contract to complete inspections and investigations, as well as advise which ones are required or recommended. Trust your REALTOR® to refer you to the BEST service providers. [Article]

Closing Your REALTOR® knows all about the unique closing requirements in the  Bloomington/ Normal area and will advise you accordingly.
