A Real Estate Professional
(A Realtor ®) Can Help You…

...Home Seller

SET THE PRICE.

Pricing your property is a balancing act. You want the highest price possible but don’t want your home to sit on the market, which might raise questions about its salability. A Realtor® knows what properties like yours have recently sold for. A Realtor® can tell whether your home, with its particular location, features, and condition can fetch more or less than similar listings. And a Realtor® knows whether the market is heating up or cooling down.

BE OBJECTIVE.

Selling a well loved home can be an emotional experience. A Realtor® can help keep you focused, provide valuable feedback on changes or repairs you should make to help your home sell, and act as a buffer during negotiations.

PROVIDE MARKETING MUSCLE.

Despite what a few owners would have you believe, homes don’t sell themselves. A Realtor® will market your home to the widest audience of potential buyers. A Realtor® will also put your property on the local multiple listing service. From there it is likely to be dispatched to Realtor.com, where it can be viewed nationally by relocating buyers.

QUALIFY BUYERS.

A Realtor® can help determine whether buyers are serious by getting answers to important questions about buyers’ motivation and purchasing power and ensuring the buyers have pre-qualified for a mortgage.

FINALIZE THE DEAL.

Selling a house is complicated; it involves disclosure forms, inspection reports, deeds, mortgage documents, and insurance policies. A knowledgeable Realtor® will help you avoid delays and costly mistakes.
