 Reasons to Use a Realtor®

Why pay a Realtor® a commission to sell your home? After all, more than 10% of

homeowners attempt to handle the sale of a home themselves, a statistic that has held

pretty steady over the years regardless of market conditions. Before making a decision

about whether to go it alone, it is important to have a realistic idea of what is involved in

the biggest financial transaction most of us are likely to make. Why work with a

Realtor®? Here are six reasons to consider:

Reason #1 - Realtors® know your market. Realtors® are in a position to know what's

happening in the real estate market, not just in your state and your community, but in

your neighborhood. As trained professionals who may have seen hundreds of homes

similar to yours and know their features and selling prices, a professional is well qualified

to set a price that can bring the maximum number of offers for your home.

Reason #2 - Realtors® sweat the details. Accurate pricing, qualifying potential buyers,

positioning advertising for maximum exposure, evaluating potential offers, negotiation

and closing the sale are some of the basic skills needed to successfully sell your home.

Then there are environmental, government and disclosure requirements that must be

followed.

Reason #3 - Realtors® know marketing. Marketing that attracts offers, not just lookers.

A coordinated marketing campaign using the right combination of print advertising,

direct mail and the Internet ensures your home receives maximum exposure. And an

experienced Realtor® can advise you on cost-effective strategies for ensuring your home

looks its best to potential buyers.

Reason #4 - Realtors® are pros at bringing buyers and sellers together. A Realtor®

may already have a buyer for your home! Successful Realtors® are continually

replenishing their rosters of potential buyers, as well as networking with other real estate

professionals who may have the perfect buyer for your home.

Reason #5 - Realtors® reduce stress. Are you prepared to show your home in the

middle of the day? Every weekend? Realtors®? have the time to show your home

whenever it is convenient for a potential buyer. It's their job. And they are available to

respond quickly and courteously to inquiries by phone call, email and fax. Think of a

Realtor® as your personal home sales assistant.

Reason #6 - Realtors® are experienced negotiators. Realtors® can help avoid costly

errors during the negotiation phase of a transaction. As experienced negotiators, they can

help maintain objectivity during what can often be an emotional time for sellers and

buyers. And the ability to deal successfully with any issues that crop up often calls for

just the right combination of firmness and diplomacy.

Whether you are a seller or a buyer, perhaps the biggest benefit real estate professionals

have to offer to you is their experience. They have made assisting buyers and sellers their

business, so that you can get on with the business, and pleasure, of realizing your dream!
