What can a REALTOR® do to sell you property that you may not be able to do for yourself?
|
Actually, facts and experience show the difficulties of trying to sell your own property usually far outweigh the
benefits. Here’s what a REALTOR® does that a home seller cannot do or finds hard to do:
- Places your property in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which exposes your property to all the buyers
working with cooperating member brokers. This effectively puts every agent in town to work helping to get
your property sold.
- Exposes your property to a large pool of qualified buyers.
- Provides solid up-to-date market information with recent sales and current listings, which helps you price
your property realistically. Such pricing is crucial to the possibility of a quick sale at the best price
obtainable.
- Shows your property whether you’re in or not, saving you hours of “minding the store.”
- Provides pre-qualified buyers who know what they want and how much they can afford. Screening
prospects saves you from the hassle of keeping appointments with “sightseers” and protects you from the
threat of “unwelcome visitors.”
- Shows your property to its best advantage. Buyers often shy away from asking property owners questions;
property owners are sometimes defensive about defects about their property. A REALTOR® can answer
necessary questions objectively and guide the buyer to a purchase.
- Helps you negotiate a satisfactory sale. Without an experienced mediator to act as a buffer between the
parties, many situations bog down.
- Leads both you and the buyer through the puzzles of rates, points, fees and financing options, helping with
loan placement and follow-up, including the provision of names and telephone numbers of specific loan
officers. Without expert knowledge of alternative financial resources, many sales are lost – especially in
tight money markets where knowledge of buy-downs, variable-rate mortgages, graduated-payment
mortgages, and various types of seller participation come into the picture.
- Protects your interests from contract to closing with an understanding of real estate procedures. A
REALTOR® has the ability to smooth the way toward agreements and the experience to attend to all the
details that must come together before settlement can take place.
