Whether you’re in the market to buy or sell a property, they are trained to guide you through every phase of a sale.
What Does A Real Estate Agent Do Exactly?
Some of the responsibilities of a real estate agent change based on if they’re working with a buyer or a seller, overall though, real estate agents help by doing the heavy lifting for administrative/legal work, research, and marketing. Here are a few key duties.

You know “how” how a real estate agent does their job, so now may you be asking for the “why”?
