Selling your home?
 
It's a complex transaction that takes time, effort and expertise. It takes a real estate professional.
 
Here's how a REALTOR® can help you:
 
A REALTOR® knows the current real estate market and can help you set a realistic, competitive price.
 
A REALTOR® is familiar with the local home loan market, knows if seller assistance is advisable, and can help you decide the type of financing that's best to expedite your sale.
 
A REALTOR® knows how to figure the approximate net proceeds from your sale, based on types of loans, your outstanding balance, and closing costs.
 
A REALTOR® knows how to add sales appeal to your home at low or moderate cost.
 
A REALTOR® knows where to find prospective buyers. Most homebuyers prefer to work with a real estate agent. Serious prospects are 'qualified' as to their affordable price range before they are shown through your home.
 
A REALTOR® can tap an even larger market, if necessary, through referrals and marketing techniques.
 
A REALTOR® frees you from the problems associated with showing your home. The REALTOR® handles all phone inquiries, makes appointments, and does the actual showing and follow-up. Your time is your own and your home is not exposed to anyone who has not been pre-qualified.
 
A REALTOR® is a skilled salesperson who knows how to merchandise your home effectively.
 
A REALTOR® maintains objectivity in responding to possible criticisms by the buyers and in presenting offers and counter-offers until an agreement is reached.
 
A REALTOR® knows how to help the buyer meet local financing requirements and go about obtaining a mortgage loan.
 
A REALTOR® can familiarize you with the closing procedures by explaining them all in advance.
 
A REALTOR® usually attends the closing with you.
