Why Use a REALTORŪ?
The buying of real estate is the largest financial investment
many people make. Whether buying for the first time or selling a family
estate, Realtors take a complicated maze of requirements and, with
knowledge of the local real estate market, simplify the process. They also
maximize the profit.
Realtors uniquely understand legal issues
that affect real estate transactions, and they’re trained to negotiate the
best possible prices and terms in the contract. Perhaps more importantly,
they offer professional advice and objective insight into a process that,
for many, is very emotional.
On the nuts-and-bolts level, Realtors
have a complete list of area homes for sale, as well as all the data
buyers need to know; they stay abreast of changing market conditions that
can affect local real estate prices. Realtors can also recommend reliable
local lenders, real estate evaluators and insurers to help the transaction
process proceed smoothly.
Why a Realtor?
Realtors adhere
to a strict code of ethics approved by the National Board of Realtors
(NAR). The code assumes that people conducting a real estate transaction
must adhere to a higher set of standards that those people working in
other business arenas. Realtors are, according to the Realtor Code of
Ethics and Standards of Practice, "zealous to maintain and improve the
standards of their calling."
