Turn to an Expert for the Best Advice, Not Perfect Advice

As we approach the anniversary of the hardships we have faced through this pandemic and the subsequent recession, it’s normal to reflect on everything that has changed and wonder what is ahead for 2021. While there are signs of economic recovery as vaccines are being issued, we still have a long way to go. It’s at times like these we want exact information about anything we’re doing. That information brings knowledge, and this gives us a sense of relief and comfort in uncertain times.

If you are thinking about buying or selling a home today, the same need for information is very real. But, because it’s such a big step in our lives, that desire for clear information is even greater in the homebuying or selling process. Given the current level of overall anxiety, we want that advice to be truly perfect. The challenge is, no one can give you “perfect” advice. Experts can, however, give you the best advice possible.

Let’s say you need an attorney, so you seek out an expert in the type of law required for your case. When you go to her office, she won’t immediately tell you how the case is going to end or how the judge or jury will rule. If she could, that would be perfect advice. What a good attorney can do, however, is discuss with you the most effective strategies you can take. She may recommend one or two approaches she believes will be best for your case.

She will then leave you to make the decision on which option you want to pursue. Once you decide, she can help you put a plan together based on the facts at hand. She will help you achieve the best possible resolution and make whatever modifications in the strategy are necessary to guarantee that outcome. That is an example of the best advice possible.

The role of a real estate professional is just like the role of an attorney. An agent cannot give you perfect advice because it is impossible to know exactly what is going to happen throughout the transaction – especially in this market.

A realtor can, however, give you the best advice possible based on the information and situation at hand, guiding you through the process to help you make the necessary adjustments and best decisions along the way. An experienced agent will lead you to the best offer and terms available. That is exactly what you want and deserve, and why you hire an experienced realtor or real estate team to represent your best interests.
