This is important as a buyer or a seller because a Realtor acts as an informational database about what is around your home or future home. All good Realtors understand details of your neighborhood school district, local businesses, tax estimates, crime statistics and vicinity to public transportation and other services like the library, hospitals, etc. If you are buying a home, these are important questions to know before you choose a new home.

One of the main reasons to hire a Realtor is to handle the ugly task of negotiating the price of the home. This task involves much more than just bartering for a price that you are willing to pay or sell for. Negotiating a price for your home involves understanding appraisals, inspection reports and closing costs and knowing what to do with them. It involves knowing what to ask for and when to ask for it without being unreasonable or jeopardizing the sale. This is where an experienced Realtor will shine and they will often come up with offers and counter-offers involving savings that you never knew you could ask for.
