If you’re looking to buy a house, the cost of hiring a Realtor is free and at no point in the transaction will you need to pay the Realtor any money for services rendered, whether you end up making a purchase or not. First Time Home Buyers are often confused by the nature of this business relationship and aren’t sure whether they were going to use a Realtor or not because they didn’t think they could afford it. When they finally understand that an Agent’s services for helping them find a home will cost them no money at any point they light up and accept their good fortune before sometimes asking how the agent will get paid.

Varying levels of home quality and neighborhood safety from one street to the next is part of what makes this city so unique.

A Real Estate transaction is complicated. Agents and even Brokers often learn something new every time they list or sell a property, so if this is your first time buying or selling a house you’re in for a whirlwind of activity.

I saved myself- and you- the frustration and consulted Google only to find this excellently laid out Flow Chart of what steps occur in a Real Estate Transaction for whom and when. Enjoy!
I just want to send a huge thank you to my friends and family over at New Orleans Local Online Marketing and PR company, Story Block Media, for taking the time to design my website.
