Reasons to Use a Realtor

1. Convert your home into an auction.
A strong Realtor can create an auction type atmosphere when selling your home. Pricing your home effectively at a competitive yet fair price is essential if you are to get top dollar for your home. If this is done correctly, chances are that you will have more than one offer on your home.
Let’s get those buyers bidding against each other, put more money in YOUR pocket!

2. Listed homes sell faster and for more money!
Exposure is the name of the game. Homes listed with Realtors sell faster and for higher prices than “For Sale by Owners” for one main reason, exposure.

3. Legal forms with elapsing time periods.
For most people, selling or buying a home is the biggest financial investments of their lives. With an enormous amount of paperwork involved, you need a Realtor to protect your legal and financial interests. Disclosures, title reports and escrow instructions just to name a few.

4. A Realtor will manage the many stressful details of selling a home:

• Finding serious, pre-approved buyers
• Negotiating repairs and closing costs
• Tax advantages and implications
• Close of Escrow on time and to your advantage, not the buyers.

5. You get what you pay for.
Realtors that charge less by cutting their commission are not always the most effective. Consider, if a Realtor is willing to cut their commission, how strong will that agent be when it comes time to negotiate and protect your financial interest?

YOU BE THE JUDGE!
Real Estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $150,000. If you had a $150,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If you had a $150,000 legal problem, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney?
Considering the small upside cost and the large downside risk, it does make sense to have a licensed professional Realtor on your side!
