Why Use a REALTOR®?

All real estate licensees are not the same. Only real estate licensees who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® are properly called REALTORS®. They proudly display the REALTOR “®” logo on the business card or other marketing and sales literature. REALTORS® are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. REALTORS® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate.

An independent survey reports that 84% of home buyers would use the same REALTOR® again.

A dozen more reasons to use a Realtor® 1. They can help you determine your buying power, that is, your financial reserves plus your borrowing capacity.

2. They have many resources to assist you in your home search.

3. They can assist you in the selection process by providing objective information about each property.

4. They can help you negotiate.

5. They provides due diligence during the evaluation of the property.

6. They can help you in understanding different financing options and in identifying qualified lenders.

7. They can guide you through the closing process and make sure everything flows together smoothly.

8. When selling your home, your REALTOR® can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms and condition of competing properties.

9. They market your property to other real estate agents and the public. Often, your REALTOR® can recommend repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the salability of your property.

10. They will know when, where and how to advertise your property.

11. They can help you objectively evaluate every buyer’s proposal without compromising your marketing position.

12. Your REALTOR® can help close the sale of your home.

Information provided by REALTOR.com® is the official site of the National Association of REALTORS®

"A MAN WHO STOPS ADVERTISING TO SAVE MONEY IS LIKE A MAN WHO STOPS A CLOCK TO SAVE TIME." – HENRY FORD Henry Ford had it right. Cutting your advertising budget when the market slows down is almost always a bad decision. You can't keep your listings a secret and expect to sell them.

And when your competitors reduce their advertising, your strong marketing effort will make you more visible than ever.
