5 Reasons To Hire A Milwaukee Realtor When Buying A Home

Finding the home of your dreams is such a thrilling feeling. But few people think about the hours and hours of searching that comes before it.

In reality, the home buying process is quite difficult, especially for those new to the market. To make finding the right home easier, you’ll want an advocate.

That’s why your own personal Milwaukee realtor comes in! Here are five reasons to hire a realtor to help you find the perfect home in Milwaukee.

It can be tempting to cut out the middleman and buy directly from a seller. Perhaps you’re confident enough in your own abilities to barter a deal on your own behalf.

Unfortunately, there are people out there banking on your fortitude. Plenty of sellers are looking to get every penny they can for their home, even if that means ripping you off in the process.

When you hire a Milwaukee realtor, you’re not just hiring an agent. You’re hiring an advocate who will protect you from predatory sellers.

2. Your Realtor in Milwaukee Knows Where to Find the Best Homes

Milwaukee is a gorgeous city, so you may not know where to begin your search. Again, this is where having your own personal realtor can come in handy. From Brookfield to Bay View to Wauwatosa, your realtor will clue you into the best up and coming locations the city has to offer.

Learn about the finest neighborhoods and the best school districts, like Whitefish Bay, currently ranked the top school district in the area.

Whether you’re looking for a shorter commute to work or considering your future family, your realtor will be happy to assist you in finding the perfect location.

3. Your Realtor Comes with Experience

When you hire a realtor, you’re buying more than their time and services. You’re buying their expertise and knowledge.

Even if you’ve researched the home buying process before, your realtor knows the ins and outs of the industry like no other.

Certain factors, like the quality of a home’s foundation or workmanship, aren’t things that can be taught. To understand what makes a house a home, you need to hire someone with years of experience.

4. Realtors Help Negotiate

Earlier, we briefly mentioned that some sellers may not take you seriously if you’re buying on your own behalf. As a result, they’re likely to charge you more than they would if you had representation.

Thus, a realtor is, in a sense, a bargaining chip. When a seller sees that you have a realtor, they know that you value your time and money.

This is particularly true when it comes to signing documents. Your realtor should be able to walk you through any difficult legal documents you may not understand.

5. You May Not Have the Time

Finally, there’s no telling how long it’ll take to find your dream home. You could spend weeks, months, or even years if you don’t have a bit of help.

And mind you, your search will need to continue as you fulfill your everyday obligations like your career or family. A Milwaukee realtor is capable of saving you more than just money, they’ll save you tons of time, as well.

Ready to Find Your Perfect Home?

Hiring a realtor in Milwaukee is a brilliant choice even if you’ve bought a home before. Are you ready to start the search for the perfect home?

If so, get in touch today and let Bob Arnold and the team help put you in a house you’re sure to love. Contact us online 24/7, or call by phone at (414)-379-1101.

Which Real Estate Agent Is Right For You?

When you are searching for a Real Estate agent in the Metro Milwaukee area to work with, research is important. Purchasing your new home will most likely be one of the biggest investment of your life.  Doing a little research on a Real Estate agent will go a long way. Looking up reviews on the agent, google searching them, and checking their website are just a few ways to find out about the agent. For reviews and volume of sales, check major search engines such as Zillow, Trulia, and Redfin. These sites are the best way to truly figure out what the realtor brings to the table. Want to know the best part about all of this, there is no cost to this research, it’s all free!

I rely heavily on Real Estate reviews from my clients. I actively reach out for reviews as well as send out my reviews to potential clients. I would like to show you the power of a review. Below are 2 reviews one from Ben and Stephanie and one from Brianna, both were recent clients of mine. Sure, we had some bumps in the road with these purchases but rarely does everything go perfect in such a big investment. It is how those bumps are handled by the Real Estate agent and the solutions they find that make be biggest difference. In the end, the only thing that matters is the Realtor did the best job for his/her client and the client feels good about their purchase. Here are two examples of a recent reviews I received on Zillow.

Purchased Home in 2016 in Milwaukee, WI

Local knowledge: 5 out of 5 Stars

Process expertise: 5 out of 5 Stars

Responsiveness: 5 out of 5 Stars

Negotiation skills: 5 out of 5 Stars

Bob is the best! I’ve never written a Google review but I had to give Bob 5 stars. He’s been really helpful as we are first time buyers. We had no idea what we really wanted at first and he’s been very patient and accommodation. Plus he’s been really honest and upfront about certain things which was refreshing. He’s not pushing you into the wrong home, he definitely seems to care about you getting into the right fit. I recommended Bob to my brother and I’d recommend him to whomever is looking for a home. We had some huge issues with a lender (won’t mention the companies name) but Bob fought for us. Wish I could bump up the stars from 5 but I can’t recommend him enough.

Brianna Purchased Home in Brookfield
We can’t recommend him highly enough. Bob is the reason our offer on our home was accepted. He worked hard to get us into properties the day they came onto the market. Bob was available and willing to answer all of our questions, and as first time home buyers, we had many. He knows Milwaukee and the surrounding communities well. It put our mind at ease knowing we had a knowledgeable, experienced advocate on our side throughout the home buying process.
