Protect Your Home Purchase, Work with a Michigan Licensed Real Estate Broker or Salesperson
October 19, 2016 (RealEstateRama) — If you are looking to buy or sell a home in Michigan, consider protecting one of your biggest investments by working with a licensed real estate broker or salesperson.
Buying or selling a home or property is one of the biggest investments you can make as an individual or family. The most important thing to do when buying or selling is to make sure you are being advised by a licensed real estate broker or salesperson. This is someone who is regulated by the State of Michigan and has been qualified through education and experience to engage in the real estate profession.
The State of Michigan can help you find a licensee and ensure you are protected when making this important investment through the Verify a License portal: www.michigan.gov/licenselookup.
“Before picking a real estate broker or salesperson to assist you with buying or selling a home or property, make sure you do your research,” said Bureau of Professional Licensing Director Kim Gaedeke. “Michigan’s Verify a License portal is a vital online asset that can validate your real estate broker or salesperson is licensed when dealing with such an important investment.”
There are several reasons why using a licensed real estate broker or salesperson in the state of Michigan can help you find or sell your home or property, including:
- Licensed real estate brokers and salespersons are knowledgeable and can help you navigate through each phase of a real estate transaction, from touring a property, to closing and all the steps and paperwork in between.
- Licensed real estate brokers and salespersons can provide important information on the areas that you are interested in buying, be it property taxes, special assessments, school data and more. Licensees can also provide you with historical information on a property, including how many times that property has sold and the selling price.
- When selling a home or property, a licensed real estate broker or salesperson has numerous resources at their fingertips to help you market your property at the right price. From the Multiple Listing Service to Facebook, a licensee is familiar with the many different avenues to market a property.
- Licensed real estate brokers and salespersons can help guide you and provide statistical data as to what has sold in the housing market that you are looking in to help you make a sound decision regarding your purchase.
