Step 2: Choose a Realtor
More than two million people in the United States have real estate licenses. There are over 2,000 licensed agents in Central Oregon alone. However, real estate is a tough business with a steep dropout rate, and the result is that only a small percentage of licensees actively help buyers and sellers, and an even smaller number account for the lion’s share of the business.This is where a track record of performance can help you choose. We are confident you will choose The Garner Group. Sales statistics are the only true measurement of success in real estate. They are the foundation for awards, media recognition and longevity in business. The Garner Group has earned all three. Our team not only sells real estate at an award-winning rate, it is selling itself to clients every day.
Why a Realtor®? Buying and selling real estate is a complex matter. At first it may seem that by checking web sites, free catalogs and ads you could quickly find the right home at the right price. These are good places to start, but they will not carry you through the process or provide a complete picture. In the maze of forms, financing, inspections, pricing and negotiating, it makes sense to work with professionals who know the community and the intricacies of the process.
What should you expect? Once you select a Realtor®, you will want to establish a proper business relationship. Some agents represent sellers while others represent buyers. The Garner Group’s depth of staff provides both, operating under rigid professional and ethical standards. As a buyer, you will be represented by an agent working on your behalf.
Your Garner Group agent will explain options available to you as a prospective buyer in the Bend real estate market and describe how he or she typically works with individuals. You will be provided with complete agency disclosures as required by the State of Oregon. You may see the Oregon Limited Agency Disclosure Pamphlet by clicking here. Once hired for the job, your Realtor® will provide you with information detailing current market conditions, financing options and negotiating issues. Updated information will be provided as market conditions change.
