(I have fun writing this stuff)

Expertise and knowledge of the marketplace.

Some offer expertise, others offer mls access and lockboxes.

As Boss Barbara Todaro wrote

Knowledge gained through experience.

There is much more to buying/selling a home than will can be learned by internet searches and talking to your unlicensed friends.

Knowledge, experience.  Stuff that a block chain if/then statement or portal can't replicate.

Expertise, experience and recommendations with local sources

Non-algorhythmic knowledge that wins in the marketplace.  

Core competence, same as it always is.

Due deligience. Getting a good deal.

Relationships:

All value flow from that relationship you develop and there's...

NO APP FOR THAT: trust, expertise, competence, character, marketing, negotiating, problem solving, communication, follow up, keep in touch. 

You can't really narrow it down to one specific value... unless you throw knowledge into one all encompassing bag.  

The profound value of guidance, knowledge, expertise, experience, marketing, professionalism, communication skills, integrity, honesty, and a million other things - 

Knowledge.

Knowledge.

Experience, Skill, Knowledge....

Knowledge.. . we know how to do the transaction. 

Same as I had the last 16 years, honesty/integrity.

For me, 2019 has not changed anything.  It all boils down to service. Going above and beyond for clients.  

 Agree with Nina Hollander

In my opinion, a GOOD real estate agent provides a ton of value, but nothing that is more important than TIME -  a client doesn't have to sift through all the nonsense, bullshit, sales funnels, misrepresented homes, etc, when they're working with a great agent.  The agent makes it easy on them.

Same as always - white glove customer service and local knowledge/expertise...and, of course, high level negotiation skills!

Being available to help a buyer or seller on a transaction start to finish...plus!

Highly valuable negotiation skills.  Knowledge and the ability to build the know, like, trust relationship with people because it helps you to land the listing, but then it helps the seller by making other agents and their buyers feel like you care about them as well, you will get better offers, better transactions, things run more smooth, if you use your ability to make all those who are party to a contract, feel good about their decisions. 

Round the clock above and beyond information and communication using all the senses, all the portals. Providing quick, efficient, thorough value which means hassle free sales results from experience listing and selling on the local level where it counts most.

What Nina Hollander stated. A

My knowledge.

Will read answers.

Barbara Todaro nailed this one.

Protecting then from scams that involve their properties

All my clients for the previous year I mail there closing statement to for their taxes.

Knowledge!

Hmm. Recently on AR a thread discusses how the worst of clients tend to be ex-real estate agents. Agent may have on over-inflated impression of what they bring to the table.

Buyers and seller ARE more informed than ever before. Agents who tell buyer and seller they are not informed create a relationship fraught with second guessing.

Of course there is the 1st timer that needs lots of handholding but that is insecurity, not the issue of not being informed.

The value we bring, on many different levels, is simply making the way. "The way" is what we have heard our cleint say, and we make it a reality. Very often is mean simply guiding THEIR hands on the right task. Other times it means creating the protected time for their thinking to become more clear.

Our value is making the client #1, while we remain the silent partner.

OF course it is possible to be more specific, but its not necessary today.

Time, caring, efficiently, honesty and knowing you have the best lenders working with you. Most agents don’t have these traits, nor do they know and research their lender partnerships to see whose is better

Knowledge, advice, personal guidance, communication, stress reliever

Knowledge.
