Real estate agents help you start your moving process by listing and selling your house. They also help you in finding your new home.

Specifically to sellers, real estate agents:

• Will meet with and understand the needs of sellers with new listings.
• They will research the current local market activity and comparable properties to establish an asking price.
• Take digital photos of your home, inside and outside, to prepare a listing presentation and advertising collateral.
• List the property on relevant listing sites or services.

Real estate lawyers help you navigate through the process of buying and selling your house. They document and review real estate transactions including purchases, leases, inspections, and appraisals.

In a typical home purchase, a seller enters into a brokerage contract with a real estate agent.

• When the broker finds a potential buyer, negotiations are conducted through the broker.
• Once an informal agreement is reached, buyer and seller enter into a formal written contract for the sale, purchase agreement.
• The buyer is then given a commitment for financing.
• Title search, the process of determining from the public record what the property rights are and who owns them, is conducted to satisfy both lender and buyer.
• Lastly the property is transferred from seller to buyer. The seller receives the purchase amount bargained for in the contract.

They provide financing options for your new home purchase.

Mortgage brokers are professional agents who do freelance work. They go between lenders and borrowers and are paid a commission from the lenders for acquiring a good borrower. You can think of them as recruiters who seek out people who are interested in borrowing for a home and then connect them with a lender that will work for them. They can also go between you and big banks for a mortgage.

Banks provide clients with different types of loans for mortgage, whether that be a fixed rate, closed or open variable rate, a plan that works as a line of credit and more. You will have to do your own research on the different mortgage loans each financial institute offers and weigh your options.
