Many people only
see a doctor when they're sick or have some other health concern. On the other
hand, some people visit a doctor regularly for check-ups, to ask questions and
get advice, and to maintain good health.
Which do you think
is the better approach? Obviously, the second one!
The same thing is
true when it comes to real estate. Even if you have no current plans to buy or
sell a home, there are many reasons to talk to a REALTOR®
regularly in order to maintain your good "real estate" health. For
example, you can:
·
Get an assessment of the
current market value of your home, so you can make an informed decision about
whether to stay or move.
·
Ask about the state of the
local real estate market (which may be vastly different than what you hear on
the national news.)
·
Find out what homes are
currently selling for in the area.
·
Learn what's currently
available on the market, especially in neighbourhoods you would like to live in
and that are within your budget.
·
Ask for a contractor
recommendation.
In fact, it's a
good idea to have a chat with your REALTOR® once or twice a
year, even if it's just to say hello.
You want to build
a relationship with a good REALTOR® who understands (and cares about) you and your
needs. That way, when it does come time for you to make a move, you're dealing
with a REALTOR® you already know and trust.

REALTOR®? Call today!
