Spring A Good Time To Shop For New Home

FARMINGTON — When it comes to knowing this area for purchasing or selling a house, your best plan is to use a local Realtor.

Legend Realty at 196 E. Main in Farmington is locally owned and has been in business for 15 years. Keith Marrs is the principal broker and he is assisted by Bob Daugherty and Mike Tooley.

Legend Realty has 13 agents. The business currently has 125 listings that include commercial, residential, land, a farm or two, and bank-owned properties through local banks.

Spring is a good time to shop for a home when the weather is nice and one can see flowers blooming, lawns turning green and trees getting new leaves.

It also is a good time to buy because interest rates are still low and houses are on the market in western Washington County.

The advantages of using a local real estate firm are that the firm handles all the transactions and paperwork involved with purchasing or selling a home. Legend will set up the title work, clos- ing date and is insured for safety. In addition, research shows that homeowners will receive more for their house by selling through a real estate firm than trying to sell by owner because agents know the market value of the area.
