For most people, buying a home is generally the most expensive transaction they will make in their lifetime. And during this costly purchase, there are a lot of legalities along the way that need to be adhered to, to ensure a smooth transaction. Hiring a real estate agent to represent you in the purchase of your home is going to be substantially beneficial.

For starters, buyers aren’t responsible for the commission payout for their Layton Property Group agent. So without the cost of paying an agent out of pocket, you’ll receive the experience and guidance to help you through a process that could otherwise be emotionally exhausting if you are going it alone. Laws are constantly changing, and by having an educated agent guiding you through the process, you can be sure to have your best interests in the purchase always looked after. You also get to have access to view more homes, and have a clearer view on how the market is in your area.

Sites like Zillow, Trulia, and others have outdated listings and misrepresent property values. Your agent will be able to send you a list of active properties for sale, help you go out to view them, as well as negotiate for you to get a great deal.
