Why hire a Rockstar Realtor in Jacksonville NC
Before the Internet became widespread, real estate listings were not available freely online. Instead, local offices of real estate agents would subscribe to thick books replete with the latest listings, weekly or fortnightly. Agents would go over the properties listed in the books to find a fit for their buyers. They would then contact their clients and ask them to drive by the house to look at it. They might even fax the listings. The bottom line is, the power was in the hands of real estate agents. This information was not available publicly and freely and real estate agents had the upper hand.
However, today, this information is available easily online. Buyers can even look at the history of the listings to obtain information about the purchase of the property and how long it has been listed on the market. They can even compare properties to gain an idea of the approximate value of homes in the local market. In this scenario, one might question the very need to even have a realty agent.
Below are three reasons why agents are still important in the new scenario.
The Agent Will Know the Market
Dealing in realty business requires a fair deal of effort and time. Real estate agents treat it as a full time job and are required to know the condition of the local market. They are well aware of the market conditions in the past five years. They repeat the process of buying and selling property again and again as it is their livelihood.
This alone gives the agent a special and unique insight into the real estate of the area. They learn what kind of inspectors to avoid, how to navigate through delicate situations at crucial points of the deal and how to put a good price on a house. They can immediately spot a good deal when they see one, yet they are also insightful enough to smell something fishy when they think they have a deal that is much too good to be true.
Interpretation of the Information
While the Internet offers a bevy of information, it would be of no use, or of even harm if one didn’t know how it would affect the investment.
For example, if a buyer found a property they really liked. They might find a comparison with another similar property that sold for a significantly lower amount. They might be tempted to wait or to lowball, in the hopes that they might get a better deal. However, a real estate agent would know that the second property actually had a whole deal of problems with carpeting and paint that the new owner would have to pay for. A buyer who did not consult a real estate agent might then miss out on his dream home, not knowing why the other home sold for less.
An agent gives confidence and advice about real estate decisions.
No Room for Mistakes
The past few years have shown just how unpredictable and unstable the real estate market is. While earlier, realty business was on a steady, slow growth, today it has become unpredictable. The loss of job security and a change in values also makes real estate a risky investment.
In such volatile conditions, an agent can help buyers to avoid mistakes that they might regret later. He can help them to make a responsible and well-informed purchase.

Helpful Tips for Seller having an Open House or Showings...Jacksonville NC Realtor Katie Jones
One of the biggest blunders home sellers make is showing their house to the potential buyers without preparing it. To make the buyers fall in love with your house at the very first sight is not a cinch. For this, you must know how to prepare your property for open houses. Home showings are an important part of the selling process and cannot be overlooked. Listed below are some handy tips on how you can do up the exteriors and interiors of your house to make it spectacular during the open houses.
* To boost up the curb appeal of your house, mow the lawn and tidy up the flower beds before the buyers come over. Clean the gutters. Also, make sure that there are no little plants or shrubbery peeking from the roofline.
* Not everyone loves animals. Even the pet lovers might not like to have a cat or dog greet them when they visit the place. However, shutting the pet in any room of the house and asking the potential buyer not to enter into that room does not sound a wise move. Every buyer wants to check out the entire house, no matter what. So, the best would be to either crate them or drop them at a close friend’s place for some time. In addition, it is also important to corral their playthings, empty the bowls in which they eat and ensure all litter boxes and containers are clean.
* There is not any house where creepy things like insects are not present. However, as a seller, giving the illusion that there are no insects or bugs in your house should be one of your major goals. You can place an insect bail trap below the stairs, under the refrigerator and behind the cabinets. If you still fail to get rid of bugs, then call a good pest control firm to deal with the problem.
* A dark, clammy and damp basement can give an impression of a leaking foundation. While the reason for this could be just that the foundation is sopping up rainwater which must have been deflected elsewhere, the buyer is most likely to take it as a leakage in the foundation. So, next time when it rains, just go outside to make sure the gutters are unclogged, downspouts are running in the right direction and underground drains or pipes are open.
* If you have preschoolers, toddlers or a newborn, it is obvious to have a good number of baby paraphernalia and toys piled up in the house. If you wish to sell your house, stash away all this before the showing. You can use a large chest or closet to hoard the stuff.
In addition to all these things, be ready to make some alterations in the house as well. For instance, if you have dim bulbs, replace them with the bright ones so that your house can give an impression of a brighter and bigger space.
