What does a Real Estate Agent do?
A real estate agent, or realtor, helps you buy, sell or rent a home. Buyer's agents search listings, schedule showings, write offers and negotiate price and repairs. Listing agents price your home, market it and handle offers. Both guide you through inspections, appraisal, mortgage approval and closing.
