Whether you should use a real estate agent or handle real estate transactions on your own depends on your circumstances, experience, and comfort level. Agents have expertise in the field of real estate, knowledge of the market, connections with professionals like appraisers and home inspectors, so they save time as well. In addition to this, agents can guide buyers or sellers through complicated procedures involved with buying homes such as filling out necessary paperwork correctly among others; also providing comparative pricing analysis which may help one make better decisions when it comes to buying houses; finally but not least referring them only to trusted professionals who will give quality services during this process. Self-handling transaction has its benefits too like saving costs because there is no fee incurred from paying an agent for their service rendered unto them nor any other money given out in form of commission fees since everything is done by oneself until completion when all legal requirements are met then ownership changes hands between buyer/seller directly without involving middlemen However it requires being independent-mindedness whereby you must be able to think for yourself without relying too much on others’ opinions especially those who do not know what they are talking about hence attention to details becomes key point here together with understanding some local laws within specific areas where properties are located in order for smooth running of things.
