Why Use A Realtor When Selling
|
Pricing Your Home:
The process of selling your home generally begins with determining an asking price. A Realtor knows the current market trends,
the asking prices of other homes for sale in your area, the actual price received on sold properties, and the asking prices
of homes that did not sell. Furthermore, a Realtor has knowledge of the financing and sales terms/conditions of competing
properties.
Marketing and Advertising Your Home
A Realtor can provide a marketing plan and recommend repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly improve the salability
of your home. Marketing enhances the exposure of your home to potential buyers and other Realtors that may have a buyer
that has criteria matching your property. In many cases real estate transactions are cooperative (i.e. a Realtor other than
yours brings a buyer to the table). Utilizing various tools and resources, such as magazines, television shows, Internet
Web sites, and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), your Realtor will disseminate information about your home to prospective
buyers and other real estate agents.
Security
With a Realtor, you can be sure that the people entering your property are not simply strangers, but rather pre-screened and
qualified prospects.
Negotiating the Sale
For both buyers and sellers, the negotiation process is relatively the same. A Realtor can effectively evaluate an offer
without jeopardizing your home's marketing position. When an offer is made, the complex steps begin: appraisals,
inspections, and financing - each a potential deal-breaker. A Realtor can help you avoid pitfalls and make any agreements
mutually satisfactory and legally binding, which helps ensure the agreement makes it through the entire process
effortlessly.
Issue Resolution
Even after the sales agreement is signed, unexpected issues may arise, such as repairs required by the findings of an
inspector or a problem is found with the title. Completing the required documentation for these issues can be quite a
daunting task for any seller, but a Realtor can assist you in resolving these types of problems and get the transaction back
on track and into closing.
Why use a Realtor?
For most people, a real estate transaction is the single largest financial undertaking they'll experience in their lifetime.
It makes sense to secure the expertise of a Realtor to ensure all parties involved in the transaction are represented honestly.
Realtors subscribe to, and take seriously, a code of ethics and maintain a higher level of knowledge regarding the process of
buying and selling property. Today, most real estate transactions involve dollar amounts exceeding $100,000. There are business
dealings (i.e. tax issues and legal questions) that revolve around smaller sums of money that you'd seek out the expertise
of a professional - so, don't you think the small cost of a real estate professional is well worth the investment?
