Six Reasons to Use a Realtor
Why pay a Realtor® a commission to sell your home? After all, more than 10% of
homeowners attempt to handle the sale of a home themselves, a statistic that has
held pretty steady over the years regardless of market conditions. Before making
a decision about whether to go it alone, it is important to have a realistic
idea of what is involved in the biggest financial transaction most of us are
likely to make. Why work with a Realtor®? Here are six reasons to consider:
Reason #1 - Realtors® know your market. Realtors® are in a position to
know what’s happening in the real estate market, not just in your state and your
community, but in your neighborhood. As trained professionals who may have seen
hundreds of homes similar to yours and know their features and selling prices, a
professional is well qualified to set a price that can bring the maximum number
of offers for your home.
Reason #2 - Realtors® sweat the details. Accurate pricing, qualifying
potential buyers, positioning advertising for maximum exposure, evaluating
potential offers, negotiation and closing the sale are some of the basic skills
needed to successfully sell your home. Then there are environmental, government
and disclosure requirements that must be followed.
Reason #3 - Realtors® know marketing. Marketing that attracts offers, not
just lookers. A coordinated marketing campaign using the right combination of
print advertising, direct mail and the Internet ensures your home receives
maximum exposure. And an experienced Realtor® can advise you on cost-effective
strategies for ensuring your home looks its best to potential buyers.
Reason #4 - Realtors® are pros at bringing buyers and sellers together. A
Realtor® may already have a buyer for your home! Successful Realtors® are
continually replenishing their rosters of potential buyers, as well as
networking with other real estate professionals who may have the perfect buyer
for your home.
Reason #5 - Realtors® reduce stress. Are you prepared to show your home
in the middle of the day? Every weekend? Realtors® have the time to show your
home whenever it is convenient for a potential buyer. It’s their job. And they
are available to respond quickly and courteously to inquiries by phone call,
email and fax. Think of a Realtor® as your personal home sales assistant.
Reason # 6 - Realtors® are experienced negotiators. Realtors® can help
avoid costly errors during the negotiation phase of a transaction. As
experienced negotiators, they can help maintain objectivity during what can
often be an emotional time for sellers and buyers. And the ability to deal
successfully with any issues that crop up often calls for just the right
combination of firmness and diplomacy.
Whether you are a seller or a buyer, perhaps the biggest benefit real estate
professionals have to offer to you is their experience. They have made assisting
buyers and sellers their business, so that you can get on with the business, and
pleasure, of realizing your dream!
