Why Hire a Realtor® ?

WHY HIRE A REALTOR®?

‘Hire a professional to protect what could be your largest investment’.

Selling a home can be a challenge without the help of a professional. Intelligent sellers know to hire a Realtor® to protect their investment.

Here are several reasons to hire a Realtor®:

~A REALTOR® UPHOLDS A STRICT CODE OF ETHICS

A ‘real estate agent’ and a ‘realtor’ are not synonymous. Only real estate licensees who are members of the National Association of Realtors®, NAR, are properly called Realtors®. The NAR promotes a higher level of education, information and professional standards. NAR members adhere to a strict Code of Ethics founded on the principal of providing fair and honest service to all consumers. Realtor® business practices are regularly monitored and held accountable to the consumers they serve.

~A REALTOR® CAN OBJECTIVELY GUIDE A CLIENT THROUGH THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS AND NEGOTIATIONS 

In today’s real estate transactions, you can expect over 20 steps from the time an offer is made and has been accepted to completion.  A Realtor® helps to guide the client through the negotiating process as well as the legal documentation and contracts. 

~ A REALTOR® CAN HELP PREPARE A HOME FOR SALE

When selling, the goal is to have the most impressionable home on the market! I am an ASP Realtor® trained in the art of preparing a home for sale.  As an Accredited Staging Professional, I have been trained and accredited by the founder of stagedhomes.com, Barb Schwarz.

~A REALTOR® IS BEST EQUIPPED TO PRICE YOUR HOME

A house that is priced right from the beginning achieves the highest proceeds. Determining the value of your home is the most important step, but it requires considerable research and analysis. Realtor’s® have the tools and experience to accurately determine your homes value and not leave money on the table.

~A REALTOR® HAS THE RESOURCES TO BEST MARKET YOUR HOME

The process of selling a home is a full time job. Realtor’s® sell hundred’s of homes and their experience is invaluable. Realtor’s® dedicate the time to market your home on a full time basis. Additionally, with the magic of the MLS and internet,  as well as other traditional marketing, Realtor’s® can give your property the most exposure and presence in the marketplace!
