Trying to represent your own real estate interest can be a huge mistake for the vast majority of homeowners because of the complexity of the California real estate regulations. Personally, I believe California as one of the most stringent disclosure regulations and required documentation that has to be given at specific time intervals during the escrow period of a real estate transaction.
So, not even considering the huge benefit of buyer or seller receives from a real estate professional, a fact often overlooked,, is the assurance of compliance with all necessary rules and regulations to not only afford and on time closing, but, also to protect both the buyer and seller after the real estate transaction has closed.
Yes, providing proper guidance through the maze of regulations and disclosures is an invaluable resource that a real estate professional provides their clients.
