identified and then matched with the available
options in the market. This is one of the chief
areas where the agent proves his worth. He will
understand your needs and also be in a posi-
tion to anticipate them because he would have
handled many similar clients in the past. The
various factors to be considered before final-
ising a property can include the proximity of
schools, the availability of parks in the neigh-
bourhood and the distance from your place of
work.
•The neighbourhood: Your agent will advise
you to spend some time in the neighbourhood
to familiarise yourself with its atmosphere. Af-
ter all, you would be spending at least the next
few years in the area and it is the place where
your children will grow up.
•Insurance: Which are the various covers
that you require? Your RE/MAX agent will ad-
vise you as he will be familiar with the area and
know the type of claims that may arise.
Home inspection – Getting one done can save
you a lot of grief in the days to come. A qualified
home inspector will examine the property and cer-
tify it after considering various parameters.
If you are considering selling property RE/MAX
will use its considerable experience and familiar-
ity with the real estate market in your area to give
you an indicative value which you can expect. Most
home owners tend to have a slightly inflated figure
in mind and it is always advisable to consider a re-
alistic estimate before taking a decision to sell your
house. Additionally, there are costs associated
with a sale and the net amount that you can expect
could be well below your expectations.
RE/MAX will prove to be an invaluable ally in your
real estate transaction. The decision to buy or sell
property would be one of the most important fi-
nancial dealings of your life. You need to take your
time and consider all the possible factors before
you make up your mind. Your RE/MAX agent, who
spends most of his time in the field, is familiar with
the area where you are considering buying proper-
ty. If you are a prospective seller he knows the go-
ing rate in your neighbourhood and can get you the
best possible price. You will be well advised to use
the services of RE/MAX in your real estate transac-
tion so that you can be assured of access to quality
service and a fair deal.
