Bene� ts of Using Local Realtors
For most people a home is the most expensive purchase that they will make in a lifetime. It is a serious transaction with signi� cant � nancial
and emotional rami� cations for the parties involved. Having proper representation is critical. In recent months I have observed a growing trend in the “hill” community of out of area Realtors work-ing the Idyllwild and outlying communities of Pine Cove and Mountain Center. I have to ask myself what bene� t a seller or buyer feels they would gain by using a Realtor from another area? � is hill has some intricacies that could leave an uninformed buyer or seller in a lurch. My fellow associates and I have all seen o� ers written by out of area Realtors not asking for speci� c inspections that are considered essential to any agree-ment that we would write. Local area disclosures are also an important element of any real estate transac-tion. � ere are hazards in our mountainous area that
most Realtors from down below don’t even think about. Failure to request speci� c inspections or dis-close known hazards, could result in legal wrangling for a buyer or seller or both. All of which could have been avoided by a knowledgeable local Realtor. Another consideration in choosing to use an out of area Realtor is their lack of knowledge of the com-munity.

Benefi ts of Using Local RealtorsContinued from page 1
One � nal point that I will add for consideration is this. Local Realtors live and work in their community. Many of us are involved in the community and earnestly try to make the community better. Be it through reaching out with services though our churches, building the community playground, helping the Idyllwild Fire Department building get a makeover, sitting on committees or boards, donating to the Community Center, donating to the Help Center, delivering food to the Help Center, hosting a Shred Fest for residents and business to shred documents, Town Clean Up and the list goes on. We support our community, your support in using local Realtors is appreci-ated. Sincerely,
