Real estate agents are professionals who help people buy, sell, or rent properties. They have knowledge of the local housing market and can provide valuable insights on property values, neighborhoods, and market trends. Agents often assist clients in pricing their homes, marketing properties, and negotiating offers. In addition to facilitating transactions, real estate agents handle paperwork and ensure that all legal requirements are met. They often work for real estate brokerages and earn a commission based on the sale price of the property. Their expertise can make the buying or selling process smoother for clients.
