Why do you need a realtor® and why it is even better to hire a Certified buyer Representative or CBR®

A Realtor® brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the business of buying a home. In fact, your 3 Percent Realty licensed Real Estate professional provides much more than the service of helping you find a home of your dreams. Realtors® are not just sales agents. They are consultants and expert negotiators, seasoned financial advisors, and superb navigators around the local neighborhoods. They are members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and must abide by a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice enforced by the NAR.

A Realtor® who specializes in  buyers can earn the designation of Certified Buyer Representative or CBR®. The CBR designation assures you that the agent you hire has been trained and will perform to the level of the competent professional, working in your best interest to meet your personal needs in your next real estate transaction .
