Why Use A REALTOR®


Realtor® vs. Selling Your Own Home

 

There are many ways a REALTOR® can help you when you decide to sell your home.

Advice
A REALTOR® will give you a step-by-step explanation about the home selling process – from beginning to end.

Resources
A REALTOR® will share information about your property through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) and on the Internet. This provides maximum exposure of your home to other REALTORS and their clients – a powerful marketing tool.

Legwork
A REALTOR® will place advertisements for your home and field phone calls about the property. Less hassle and quicker results for you!

Qualifies the Buyers
A REALTOR® will “qualify” potential buyers to ensure that they are financially able to buy your property.

Negotiation
A REALTOR® will negotiate the sales contract and professionally close the deal for you.

 

Maximized exposure
The key to selling quickly and getting top dollar is exposure. The more people who see your home, the sooner you will find a willing buyer. How do you get the most exposure? If you sell the home yourself, you will get some exposure by putting up a sign, running some ads, and telling your friends. On the other hand, if you work with a REALTOR® you will get instant and mass exposure to a large number of prospective home buyers.

A REALTOR® has access to the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®). This service, a computerized system operated by the local real estate board, compiles information about listed properties in the area and makes it accessible to member companies. As a result, when a REALTOR® lists your home, REALTORS® from other companies learn about your home and try to match it with buyers with whom they are working. These buyers may include people from out-of-town who are trying to relocate to your area.

A REALTOR® can speed the selling process in other ways:

  • By specializing in real estate, a REALTOR® knows market values and can therefore help you set a competitive price for your home.
  • A REALTOR® can free you from the hassles associated with showing your home and screen out people who are merely curious.
  • A REALTOR® is objective when negotiating with buyers and experienced in reading the fine print of contracts.
  • By staying on top of the mortgage market, a REALTOR® may know how to wade through financing tangles and clinch a sale.

Selling a home is not something that anyone can do in their off-hours. It's a specialized service best handled by a professional. Best handled by a REALTOR®

 

How a Realtor® Helps When Buying A Home

Financing
A Realtor® knows a lot about the different financing options available to you. He or she also has experience working with the different lenders in your area, and can direct you to someone with financing that is right for you.

Searching
Once you know how much you can and want to invest, the work begins. You will want to start with a list of properties that closely fit your needs. A Realtor® has numerous resources to help you conduct a thorough search.

Selecting
Making a final selection is an exciting decision. Your Realtor® can help you by providing objective information about each property and the area in which it is located. A Realtor® can also help you answer two very important questions objectively: Will the property meet all of my needs in a home? Will I make money on my investment when I am ready to sell the property?

Negotiating
Many details need to be negotiated in the contract including price, financing, terms, date of possession, and the inclusion or exclusion of repairs, furnishings, fixtures, etc. A Realtor® will help you through this sometimes confusing process.

Closing
Your Realtor® will see you through to this final stage, when all the papers are signed and the keys are in your hand.

 

 

 


Talking Houses


When you are selling a home, you want it to stand out from all the other homes on the market making it more memorable for the home buyers.  Studies show that most home buyers start the home buying process by driving up and down the streets in the neighborhoods they want to live in looking for the special house. 

When the buyers see a “Talking House“ sign in the front yard, they are courious enough that they will stop, tune in to the radio, and listen to all the great features that the home has to offer. This gives your home an extra edge above the other homes they previously drove by.  They WILL REMEMBER YOUR HOME.

When looking for a home, the “Talking House“ is a great tool that helps you to decide whether this is the house that you have been looking for.  By giving you the details of the house, you are much more informed before even speaking to an agent.  You WILL REMEMBER THE “TALKING HOUSE“

Here's How It Works

 The Yard Sign Works 24 Hours a Day,
7 Days A Week Encouraging People To “Tune In“
To The Radio Station Stated On The Sign To Learn About The House.
 And They DO!!

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                            

Home Buyers Hear All The Features
That Make That Home Special. The Home Stands Out,
Making It More Memorable. Because Of This, Your Home Will Receive Much More Attention
Than Other Houses On The Market For Sale.

If You are wanting to have your house a“Talking House“ Give me a call and I would be happy to meet with you and give you all the exciting details on this great home selling device.
