Hi everybody i just came back from a non-working vacation over the holidays. I’m back and ready to post some great information for 2009.
As a home owner or an investor in real estate we may choose to sell our property by for sale by owner. To help you make an informed decision I’m posting my top 5 reasons why you might want to use a realtor to sell your property.
TIP #1- Real Estate Agents will walk you through each step of the process ensuring that you understand, so that there are no surprises.
TIP #2- Realtors have the experience and knowledge it takes to sell homes, it’s their business. It comes from years of experience in real estate with hundreds of homes sold and bought. Real Estate Agents are familiar with trends in your area, what sells, what is hot, what buyers are looking for and what it takes to make the sale of a home quick.
TIP #3- A Real Estate Agent will list your home on the multiple listing service M.L.S., which is the largest database of homes for sale. Exposed to thousands of realtors, this database generates more leads than any other source. Over 50% of real estate sales are cooperative sales, which is a Real Estate Agent other than yours brings in the buyer.
TIP #4- Realtors will explain each step through the closing process and make sure everything runs smoothly. When a property is marketed with the help of a Realtor they will accompany potential buyers through your property, not leaving you alone with strangers.
TIP #5- Eighty two percent of real estate sales are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, family and personal contacts. This information was revealed by a study done by The National Association of Realtors.
Were going to have a great year.
