If you are getting ready to search for a new home to purchase, you might be tempted to work on this task without the help of a realtor. However, this can be a mistake because a realtor truly can make the home buying process a great deal easier.

These days it is pretty easy to go online and find lots of great homes for sale, so you might think that a realtor is unnecessary. However, this real estate agent is your advocate and works to ensure that you get the best possible deal on the home you choose as well as helping you through the inspection and escrow processes. Real estate agents also have excellent contacts within the real estate market and often know about homes that are not yet on the market or were recently taken off the market, where the owner might be willing to sell. Since commissions typically are paid from the sale of the home and out of the seller's profits, you really have little to lose.

Perhaps you already have a great agent in mind but if not, ask co-workers, neighbors, or friends for a good recommendation. You also could choose a few different realtors and spend some time talking with them to gauge who seems to be the best possible real estate agent for you.

Asking some questions is a great way to discover whether or not you have found the right agent. You will want to know about their years of experience and qualifications, but also you will want to learn about their expertise with the local market and how much they know about the area in general. This latter knowledge is particularly important if you are moving somewhere new and you aren't already familiar with the area. A realtor can help you find information about schools and even make recommendations about local businesses, doctors, contractors and other professionals.

If you feel uncomfortable discussing your housing needs and budget with an agent, this is probably not a good match. You need to be very clear about what you like, what you want, how much you want to spend and what you really do not like. If you are having trouble communicating these essentials, then perhaps you aren't with an agent that is a good match with you. It is important that there is a good rapport between you and your real estate agent.
