Why Use a REALTOR®

The decision to sell your home is one of the most important ones you can make. When you are ready to sell your home you need to ask yourself the following questions: Do you have the time, energy, knowledge, sources of information and contacts to do the job your self? Would you benefit by using a REALTOR®? Would a REALTORS®' knowledge on the current real estate market assist you in selling your home for more? Could their vast marketing techniques aid
you in quickly finding a qualified buyer who will pay top dollar for your home? Are you aware of all necessary disclosures and the consequences
if they don't happen? Are you willing to take on the risks involved without the advice, knowledge and assistance of a REALTOR®?

A REALTOR® has the knowledge, education, interest, resources and dedication to guide you successfully through the process. When the
public asks for a REALTOR®, they are getting more than a real estate licensee. They are getting a professional that must subscribe to the Associations strict Code of Ethics, Rules and Regulations and
Professional Standards. REALTORS® are committed to treat all parties
to a transaction honestly. REALTORS® are expected to maintain a
higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real
estate.

Real Estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. Considering the risks involved
and the advantages available, it would be foolish to consider a real
estate transaction without the professional assistance of a REALTOR®!

A REALTOR® can:
  • Provide up-to-date information on current market trends to assist you in determining a reasonable price for your home
  • Place your property on the MLS system* to market your property and introduce it to thousands of other REALTORS® to assure a wider range of prospective buyers
  • Expose your property to numerous other REALTORS® through networking
  • Use their expertise and experience to negotiate on your behalf
  • Handle necessary paperwork
  • Lend knowledge of the market to help you make informed
    decisions
  • Guide you through each step of the transaction

*The MLS System is a compilation of available and off market listings
throughout the expanded metro area. A REALTOR® can gather
information on what properties are available, what properties are selling
and at what price and many other current market trends.
