Step 2 Why It Is So Important to Choose the Right Realtor?

More than 2 million people in the United States have earned real estate licenses. However, real estate is a tough business with a steep dropout rate, and the result is that only a small percentage of those with licenses actively help buyers and sellers.

I have the experince and know how with strong Code of Ethics, extensive training and a wealth of community information.

Why buying and selling real estate is a complex matter?
At first it might seem that by checking local picture books or online sites you could quickly find the right home at the right price.

But a basic rule in real estate is that all properties are unique. No two properties -- even two identical models on the same street - are precisely and exactly alike. Homes differ and so do contract terms, financing options, inspection requirements and closing costs. Also, no two transactions are alike.

In this maze of forms, financing, inspections, marketing, pricing and negotiating, it makes sense to work with a professional who knows the community and much more. Sal Cortese is that professional local REALTORS® who will serve you.

How do you choose?
In every community you're likely to find a number of realty brokerages. However like in every industry not all REALTORS® are alike.

What should you expect? ( When working with a Professional Realtor®)
I will establish a proper business relationship. You likely know that some REALTORS® represent sellers while others represent buyers. I will explain the options available, explain how agency disclosures laws as required in Massachusetts effect you, and why not all agents represent the buyer.

Once hired for the job, I will provide you with information detailing current market conditions, financing options and negotiating issues that might apply to a given situation. Remember: Because market conditions can change and the strategies that apply in one negotiation may be inappropriate in another, this information should not be set in stone.As your REALTORS® I will keep you updated and alert you to each step in the transaction process.

I will guide you every step of the way. From start to finish. From the initial offer, through the home inpection process, to the closing.
