Why should you work with a REALTOR®?
It's a common question that we hear a lot, but it can be simply summed up with 7 simple reasons that don't even include the money gains that you stand to earn from your real estate sales. REALTORS®
aren’t just agents. They’re professional members of the National Association of REALTORS®
and subscribe to its strict code of ethics. If you're considering purchasing or selling a home in Palm Beach County, Martin County, St Lucie County, or anywhere else in Florida, then you REALLY need a realtor for many other reasons not even mentioned below. There's a LOT more to it than most people realize, and the cost in time, money & energy to you for not having a REALTORS®
can be staggering!
This is the REALTOR® difference for home buyers:
This is the REALTOR® difference for home buyers:
- An expert guide.
Selling a home usually requires dozens of forms, reports, disclosures, and other technical documents. A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best deal, and avoid delays or costly mistakes. Also, there’s a lot of jargon involved, so you want to work with a professional who can speak the language.
- Objective information and opinions.
REALTORS®
can provide local information on utilities, zoning, schools, and more. They also have objective information about each property. REALTORS®
can use that data to help you determine if the property has what you need.
- Property marketing power.
Property doesn’t sell due to advertising alone. A large share of real estate sales comes as the result of a practitioner’s contacts with previous clients, friends, and family. When a property is marketed by a REALTOR®, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Your REALTOR® will generally pre-screen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.
- Negotiation knowledge.
There are many factors up for discussion in a deal. A REALTOR®
will look at every angle from your perspective, including crafting a purchase agreement that allows you the flexibility you need to take that next step.
- Up-to-date experience.
Most people sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each sale. Even if you’ve done it before, laws and regulations change. REALTORS®
handle hundreds of transactions over the course of their career.
- Your rock during emotional moments.
A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. And for most people, property represents the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you stay focused on the issues most important to you.
- Ethical treatment. Every REALTOR® must adhere to a strict code of ethics, which is based on professionalism and protection of the public. As a REALTOR®’s client, you can expect honest and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters.
