SELLING YOUR HOME

What a REALTOR® can do for you.

Only a real estate professional who belongs to the National Association of REALTORS® may be called a REALTOR®.  A REALTOR® is bound by a strict code of ethics and pledges to protect and promote the interest of the parties involved in a transaction by providing fair treatment.  In addition:

A REALTOR® is knowledgeable of market conditions and has access to information not easily available to the general public.

A REALTOR® knows how to advertise to achieve maximum exposure to your property.  REALTORS® belong to the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and can ensure that your property will be listed there.  MLS is used by other REALTORS® when searching for properties for prospective buyers.

A REALTOR® understands competitive pricing.

A REALTOR® has many tips on how to “stage” your home for viewing.

A REALTOR® can make you aware of all the complexities of a real estate transaction.

A REALTOR® has access to many potential buyers.

A REALTOR® frees you from the hassle of showing your home, handling phone inquiries and negotiations of the contract, and will show your property to only serious and qualified buyers.

A REALTOR® will remain objective when presenting offers and counter-offers.  Homeowners are often emotionally tied to their home and can cost themselves thousands of dollars by not remaining objective.

A REALTOR® carries Error and Omissions (E & O) Insurance.
