A good agent will cut the amount of time you spend on finding the right home. A good agent will ensure that all the i's are dotted and the t's crossed. A good agent will know the market, the neighborhoods and where the skeletons are buried. e.g. what's buried under the site of the old Nansemond Hotel, rights of way, easements, Chesapeake Bay Preservations areas & acts, paper streets... In other words, while it may be easier today to gather information on buying or selling, a good agent, will be able to translate raw data and put it into perspective.

Also, a good agent has valuable knowledge about construction techniques, loan programs, personal contacts within the neighborhoods, access to builders, contractors, suppliers, installers as well as training in price negotiations - elements that can't be obtained over the Internet. If you feel lucky, visit Atlantic City, if you want to buy or sell property, please get an agent. I would hope that you would use me, but if not Glen Kovacs, then find another agent. Best wishes to you with your Real Endeavors.

Buying or selling a home can sometimes be a very frustrating process.
The average person will buy 3 to 5 houses during their lifetime, because of this, they don't have the on-going experience that being in the market day-in and day-out gives. Do you remember the last time you purchased a car? Stroll into a typical car dealership and we're at a big disadvantage. We only buy a car once every few years. But the people in the dealership negotiate sales all day long, every day, for years. Who is more skilled at this game?
