Expert research and communication services : Buying a home in Carrollton involves finding all the right listings and then contacting the sellers of those listings to set up showings. Sometimes the seller has an agent and sometimes not, but either way working around everyone else can be a major pain. It can be especially difficult if the other party realizes that you aren't a real estate professional. They may try to take advantage, or not take you seriously because you don't have expert representation.

A realtor will lend credibility to your endeavor and do all the footwork to find the right homes and set up appointments. If you are a seller, there is even more work involved.

You have to find the right price for your home, field calls from interested parties and determine the good from the bad, and stage your home to appear to the best advantage. Your agent can handle all of this for you, and smooth your real estate experience.
