THE REAL ESTATE NOTES • SEPTEMBER 2026
What does a Realtor actually do for a buyer?
If you have never bought a house before, it can be hard to know what you are actually hiring an agent to do.
Before we look at houses
We figure out budget, financing, timing, location and what matters to you.
During the search
I help evaluate listings, schedule showings, research property details and identify questions worth asking.
When you find one
We talk through price, terms, contingencies, timing and the risks you should understand before making an offer.
After the offer
Inspections, appraisal, financing, deadlines, title work, final walkthrough and closing still need attention.
