Sellers you can expect more from Realtors !

It may seem that a realtor's access to the Multiple Listing Service is the most significant reason for working with a real estate professional.

While realtors can use the MLS to match your housing preferences with available properties and help you establish realistic expectations if you're selling, it is just one of several tools they use to offer you professional advice

I can also, for example, access the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation's database to provide you with valuable insight into current taxes on individual properties, ownership histories and lot size specifics.

Using Teranet's GeoWarehouse, I can retrieve even more information that is useful in the decision-making process like streetscape imagery, mapped neighbourhood sales, and average local incomes.

As well, if you're considering a newly constructed home, I can have your needs covered through access to RealNet which is Canada's database of new home listings.

RealNet reports on 99 per cent of all developments greater than 15 units in size in the GTA.

A search of the RealNet database can be conducted by housing type, location, price range and number of bedrooms.

This information can help you measure your preferred builder's value proposition and more carefully weigh your decision with respect to choosing new versus resale housing.

As your realtor, I can also advise you on government programs that will save you money.

For example, if you're considering a few fix-ups prior to listing, I can provide you with details of programs like the Home Renovation Tax Credit and the Energy Guide for Houses Retrofit Grant.

If you're wondering whether buying a home is within reach, I can tell you about a program that, with only 5 per cent down, allows you to apply for mortgage insurance that can facilitate your purchase.

As well, if you are a first-time homebuyer, as your realtor can advise you of a program that allows you and your partner to each withdraw up to $25,000 from your RRSPs to put toward your purchase.

As your realtor I can also work to advocate your interests on important issues like property taxes, sales tax harmonization and the Toronto land transfer tax.

They make direct contributions to GTA communities as well, helping to feed 1,900 children in 11 local schools every week through the Children's Breakfast Program and providing grants to 20 shelter-related charitable organizations this year alone.

These are just a few of the many ways that shows there's more to Greater Toronto realtors than MLS.
