7 Reasons to Work With a REALTOR®

REALTORS^® aren’t just agents. They’re professional members of the National Association of REALTORS^® and subscribe to its strict code of ethics. This is the REALTOR^® difference for home buyers:

An expert guide. Selling a home usually requires dozens of forms, reports, disclosures, and other technical documents. A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best deal, and avoid delays or costly mistakes. Also, there’s a lot of jargon involved, so you want to work with a professional who can speak the language.
Objective information and opinions. REALTORS^® can provide local information on utilities, zoning, schools, and more. They also have objective information about each property. REALTORs^® can use that data to help you determine if the property has what you need.
Property marketing power. Property doesn’t sell due to advertising alone. A large share of real estate sales comes as the result of a practitioner’s contacts with previous clients, friends, and family. When a property is marketed by a REALTOR^®, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Your REALTOR^® will generally prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.
Negotiation knowledge. There are many factors up for discussion in a deal. A REALTOR^® will look at every angle from your perspective, including crafting a purchase agreement that allows you the flexibility you need to take that next step.
Up-to-date experience. Most people sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each sale. Even if you’ve done it before, laws and regulations change. REALTORS^®handle hundreds of transactions over the course of their career.
Your rock during emotional moments. A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. And for most people, property represents the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you stay focused on the issues most important to you.
Ethical treatment. Every REALTOR^® must adhere to a strict code of ethics, which is based on professionalism and protection of the public. As a REALTOR^®’s client, you can expect honest and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters.
