Why Use a REALTOR

Some homeowners may think they can save alot of money by handling the sale of their own home. They soon realize a real estate transaction can be very complicated...and that's when they turn to a REALTOR.

Real Estate is a profession that requires a REALTOR to possess the knowledge and expertie necessary to work for their clients' best advantage.

PRICING
REALTORS see your home through professional eyes, with knowledge of pricing factors, current market conditions and comparative value. They can determine whether the price you're considering is unrealistically high or perhaps too low.

MARKETING
With access to a Multiple Listing Service, advertising, other REALTORS who represent buyers, and many other tools such as yard signs, open houses and brochures, REALTORS can market your home in a way you'll find virtually impossible to equal on your own.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Home sales require an enormous amount of administrative and legal paperwork that must meet the letter of the law. Most non-professionals find it an overwhelming task to coordinate the various legal entities and forms required in a real estate transaction. Mistakes can be costly and cause needless delays in the transaction, which could open the homeowner to potential liability.

A DOUBLE DOSE OF PROTECTION
Using a professional REALTOR to conduct your home transactions offers buyers and sellers an extra dose of protection. Ask your REALTOR about including a home warranty plan on the sale or purchase of your home. Home warranties protect both parties in a transaction. Buyers enjoy the comfort of knowing that covered home systems and appliances will be repaired or replaced if they malfunction. while sellers have the security of reduced liability for any after-sale problems.

CHOOSING A PRO
Choosing a REALTOR shouldn't be like drawing a name out of a hat. Basic guidelines apply for both sellers and buyers, complemented by your own judgement and intuition about who will work well for you.

  • Ask relatives, neighbors or friends for recommendations.
  • Find out which agents specialize in your neighborhood, or have sold many homes there.
  • When you've selected possible agents, schedule a time for them to make a formal presentation. If you're selling, have them complete a comparable market analysis (CMA) of your home. This is also the time to find out more about their experience and ideas for selling your home (or finding you one).
