Do I really need a REALTOR® to sell my home? Top reasons why you should use a realtor

Selling a home is complicated.  Partnering with a licensed expert to sell your home eases the entire process, from deciding to list your home and getting it ready to show, to the closing.  Listing your home with an agent ensures that you get the broadest market reach for your home—and the best price.  

What does a real estate agent do for you? 

  • advise you on how to prepare your home for the market
  • network to find the right buyer for your home
  • manage the paperwork
  • share their expertise with you

Agents have a fiduciary responsibility to put their clients' best interests first.

REALTORS® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge as to the process of buying and selling real estate. They are committed to treating all parties in a transaction honestly. 

How does a REALTOR® help sell my home?

There are many things that a licensed real estate agent does to help you get the best price for your home.  Your REALTOR® can help you objectively evaluate every buyer’s proposal and then help write an appropriate, legally binding, sales agreement.  A  REALTOR® will...

  • guide you through the entire home selling process
  • help you determine the most appropriate listing price for your home
  • offer professional experience and extensive market knowledge to advise you 
  • list your home on MLS and other listing services
  • network with other agents and potential buyers
  • create a marketing campaign that highlights your home’s most unique and attractive features
  • determine the most appropriate buyer pool and create a focused plan to attract it
  • recommend the most appropriate marketing vehicles, including: online resources, formal and informal networks, for sale signs, print advertising, and national and international
  • vet potential, pre-approved buyers
  • facilitate negotiations
  • ensure that you net the highest price by matching the right buyer to your home
  • counsel you through the paperwork and ensure all documents are completed correctly
