How to find the right real estate agent?

Decide what is important to you and find a licensed REALTOR® that has experience in that field. Looking for land? Find an agent that is connected to the area farmers. Looking for homes in a specific community or school district? Find an agent that is active in that town that has a pulse on what’s coming up for sale. Interested in purchasing a foreclosure or property that will be up for auction? Find an agent that has experience in buying and selling at auction, short sales and foreclosures. Case Real Estate agents have longevity and experience and have fine tuned the real estate purchasing process.

If you’re going through the dissolution of property due to death, divorce or a dissolving partnership you’ll want a licensed real estate agent that has experience in the probate process.

What does a buyer’s agent do for their fee?

Your buyer’s agent finds the property that meets your needs, negotiates the offer on your behalf, advises, represents you and your best interest and helps you navigate the buying process. Your buyer’s agent will also recommend professionals i.e. reliable mortgage brokers, real estate attorneys, home inspectors, movers, etc., to help overcome setbacks and help the home buying process go as quickly and smoothly as possible.

How to best buy a home from out of state?

Step one is to find a Realtor® that you trust to do the leg work for you and know your needs enough to lead you in the right direction. Buying a home from out of state is even more important that you and your Realtor® do all of the research including checking out the neighbors, stopping by at night, listening for possible noise and traffic disturbances and if you can’t make it be sure your Realtor® can be there at the inspection.

At Case Real Estate our agents have relocated themselves and have helped many others move into the Ozarks from other states. They will be your real estate relocation specialists to ensure that there are no surprises in the process and that you feel at home when you arrive.

What do I need to when starting to look for a home?

Become familiar with your finances, know your credit score and get pre-approved by a reputable lender. Need a recommendation? Ask one of our Agents.

Beyond the financials, make a list of your must-have features and deal breakers; this will help your agent find the perfect property for you.
