Get More Exposure for
Your Property
Your home must be listed by a realtor in order to be included
in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The MLS a massive database
of homes, that is now available to the public in most states
via the Internet. According to the National Association of REALTORS®
the majority of buyers find their realtor and their home using
the MLS. Statistics show 86% of buyers use a real estate agent
during their search, 75% of buyers bought their home with the
assistance of a realtor, and 83% of sellers sold their home
with the assistance of a realtor*. Most realtors are hesitant
to show buyers “for sale by owner” (FSBO) properties
because they risk not getting paid. Why limit yourself to the
small percentage of buyers not using a realtor?
Save Valuable Time
The process of attracting buyers, being available to show your
house, providing property disclosures and making the sale requires
many hours of work. In addition, if you are not well versed
in writing real estate contracts you risk having legal issues.
Why spend your valuable time when a realtor can do it for you
and do it more efficiently? They are well worth the fee you
pay at closing.
Realtors Price Your Home Competitively
Sellers may be aware of a few nearby homes that have sold, but
they don't have access to the area market data nor do they possess
any professional knowledge of real estate transactions. A realtor
will utilize a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) which is an
invaluable tool when pricing property.
Insulate Yourself from Potential Buyers
Sellers have an emotional attachment to their home and may only
emphasize the features they consider most desirable. However,
as trained professional, a realtor is more attuned to the buyers'
needs and will highlight the most appealing features to each
buyer. A realtor also insulates you from potential buyers who
try and under cut your price. Plus, many buyers feel intimidated
when dealing directly with the seller.
Realtors are Experienced Negotiators
Many sellers are hesitant to bargain with buyers or are just
uncomfortable with negotiating. Realtors are experienced negotiators
and can be a powerful ally when negotiating a contract with
a prospective buyer. Your realtor will help you obtain the highest
price for your property, review all of the terms and conditions
stated in the contract, assist you with inspection reports and
coordinate all the closing details. |
