Boston Real Estate News

A recent study from the National Association of REALTORS (NAR) showed that 89 percent of homebuyers chose a real estate agent to help them with the purchase of their new home in 2010 vs. 69 percent in 2001.

Some of the key reasons cited for this increase include the complexity of the buying process today, the desire to work with a licensed and trained professional, the myriad of issues that can come up with regard to financing, condo associations and title issues.

Other reasons noted were the desire for buyers to have someone help them evaluate a property, coordinate showings, provide negotiation expertise and assist them in managing the process.

Sounds exactly like what I have been doing for Greater Boston home buyers since 2004!
