by Ronald Bixby - Realtor with Realty ONE Group Dockside 02/12/2024

Working with a real estate agent can provide several advantages when buying or selling a home. Using their professional training and experience, you may find the buying or selling process quicker, simpler and more rewarding. Here are some of the key benefits to working with an agent when shopping for a home:



Market expertise

Real estate agents have in-depth knowledge of the local housing market, including current property listings, recent sales data, and neighborhood trends. They can provide valuable insights to help you make informed decisions.



Access to listings

Agents have access to multiple listing services (MLS) and networks, which allow them to find properties that match your criteria. They can save you time and effort by narrowing down the options and arranging property viewings.



Negotiation skills

Agents are experienced negotiators who can help you secure the best possible price and terms for the home you want to buy. They can advocate on your behalf, handle counteroffers, and navigate complex negotiations.



Guidance throughout the process

Buying a home involves various steps, from making an offer to completing paperwork and closing the deal. A real estate agent can guide you through the entire process, ensuring you meet deadlines, understand legal requirements, and avoid costly mistakes.



Professional network

Agents have a network of professionals, including mortgage lenders, home inspectors, and attorneys, whom they can refer you to. These connections can help streamline the home-buying process and ensure you have reliable resources at your disposal.


Overall, working with a real estate agent provides you with professional expertise, market insights, and a dedicated representative who can guide you through the complexities of buying a new home. When you work with a real estate agent, you’re more likely to find your dream home - and at the right price.

Hi, I'm Ronald Bixby and I'd love to assist you. Honor, Respect, and Integrity...These are qualities that were instilled in a small town in upstate NY and reaffirmed in the US Navy. I was raised in a town called Horseheads. After graduating High school, I decided to see the world and I went into the Navy. Although I wanted to see the world, I ended up joining the submarine force and unfortunately, they don't have too many windows on subs! After getting out of the Navy, I found myself with an opportunity to get into the restaurant business and that's where I spent the next 30 years. I am blessed with an amazing wife, who is my rock, 4 beautiful daughters, and a son... Parenthood has a way of keeping you on your toes! However, thinking that I was missing something, I decided to make a change and started exploring the Real Estate business, and the more I looked into it, the more I knew this was the right profession for me. I like to help people and assisting a family buy or sell a home is a fantastic opportunity to do just that. If I can make someone half as happy as I am...it's a great day. Let me help you be happy.
