Home Buying Guide: Introduction
Buying a house can be an exciting experience -- and one of the largest financial investments you'll make in your lifetime. By educating yourself on the home buying process and seeking out the sound advice of a Realtor, you'll save time, energy and money.
Realtors are licensed real estate professionals who are also members of a local real estate board. A Realtor acts as an agent for the buyer or the seller -- or, in less frequent situations, for both. But no matter whom they represent, Realtors are legally obligated to protect and promote the interests of their clients. All Realtors must adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and a high standard of business practices.
