10 Reasons Why To List With a Realtor
Price ... Owners who sell their homes or condominiums on their own, typically generate "tens of thousands" of dollars less than owners who work with a Realtor.
Access Buyers ... Through Multiple Listing Services (MLS), professional contacts, and their own database of prospects, Realtors can help you reach the widest range of potential customers.
Sales Skills ... Realtors can evaluate your property and suggest improvements to get you maximum value, and they're skilled at handling showings to generate a positive response.
Marketing Expertise ... Realtors know the best ways to advertise to attract Buyers, plus they can use the marketing muscle of their brokerage to promote your home or condominium.
Knowledge of Neighborhoods ... Realtors know local communities and can help you find a replacement property in the nicest neighborhood and with the best schools.
Experience Handling Paperwork ... Buying or selling a home or condominium involves reams of paperwork that can be hard to understand. Realtors thrive in this paper world. Continuing as well as required education keeps Realtors up to date with real estate law and forms.
Negotiation Skills ... With years of bargaining experience and an expert understanding of the market, Realtors can help you close the sale at the price and terms you want.
Knowledge of Service Providers ... Realtors can refer you to their network of top-quality lenders, lawyers, inspectors and repair people to make sure you get the best result in every stage of your transaction.
Time ... Realtors have the time and expertise to handle open houses, showings, inspections, and dozens of other tasks that would take you away from your work and regular routine.
Post-Closing Advice ... Experienced Realtors will continue to support you as questions pop up after the sale is long done.
