Buying or Selling a Home? Reasons Why You Need To Hire a Licensed Real Estate Practitioner:

When buying or selling properties, some people are not open to employing the services of a Licensed Real Estate Agent as they are trying to save money.  Thus, they resort to online research for information and guidance. This kind of mindset, however, might prove to be risky and a costlier decision in the long run.  Hiring the services of a Licensed Real Estate Professional is having a professional Real Estate Adviser by your side, providing professional services and protecting you in all aspects of the transaction/s.

There are a number very important reasons why hiring a Licensed Real Estate Broker is the wisest decision you will ever make as HVP-Horizontal Vertical Properties shares with you the five most important ones:

1.  The Real Estate Service Act (or RESA law) was signed to protect the public from fraudulent transactions done by ‘colorum’ (unlicensed/illegal) real estate agents.  The Philippine government has a listing of personal information of all Licensed Real Estate Professionals.  And, should there be cases of fraudulent transactions done, these can be traced through the registered personal information/s kept in the Government Agency that regulates the Real Estate Industry.  One can file formal complaint/s with Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) or the Broker’s Real Estate Board.
2. There are countless forms, disclosures, and legal documents you need to accomplish when buying or selling a property and you need to read every word and comprehend all that are written on all pertinent document/s.  Overlooking small detail/s may cause failure and/or void of truncation and could result to a costly mistake/s.  In order to avoid these mistakes, Real Estate Professionals will explain every line and tick every box to ensure that you fully understand what you are getting into.
3. Agents become your spokesperson/s and will protect you against offers and counteroffers when dealing with purchase contract/s should there be a need to back out of a deal.
4. Expertise of Licensed Real Estate Brokers have been gained through years of experience so much so that they can be genuinely trusted to know what they are doing.  Just renewing their Real Estate Broker/s’ licenses every three years is already a tall order as they are required to attend continuing programs, education and trainings, constantly and regularly updating with the latest and most recent real estate laws and trends in the country.
5. Due to their required continued learning/s, Real Estate Professionals are well informed and are constantly up to date with Market Conditions Information. They utilize these first-hand information/s and work to provide unbiased view/s of your property vis-à-vis the market behavior or conditions.

All in all, Real Estate Agents offer valuable professional service/s.  They take the time to negotiate efficiently and effectively to provide their clients a clearer picture of the investment decisions that need to be taken.
