Thought for the Day - Working With a Realtor® is Needed Even More

Posted at 9:00 AM, Oct. 19, 2006

In today’s normal, balanced market, working with a Realtor® is needed even more.

 

The days of “easy” money, “easy” sales, etc. are long gone. Sellers and buyers now need competent representation: Realtors® have the training and experience to protect and fully represent both buyers and sellers; Realtors® take continuing education; and, perhaps most importantly, Realtors® subscribe to a rigid Code of Ethics to ensure that the public is protected.

In the boom times, many people obtained real estate licenses, and really did not have to work that hard to make a good living. In today’s balanced market, much more time and effort is needed to sell a property, and buyers have many more choices. Determining market value, for either buyers or sellers, looking at closing costs, contingencies, types of loans, etc. require a degree of knowledge that an experienced Realtor® can provide. It is important to note that all licensees are not Realtors®. With many unscrupulous or even unlicensed “agents” working in our area, working with a Realtor® is the smart choice.
