Why Use a REALTOR® When Selling a Home?

A real estate agent can help you understand everything you need to know about the home selling process.

Not all real estate licensees are the same; only those who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS^®(NAR) are properly called REALTORS^®. They proudly display the REALTOR "®" trademark on their business cards and other marketing and sales literature.

REALTORS^® are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. REALTORS^® subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. An independent survey reported that 84% of home buyers would use the same REALTOR^® again.

Real estate transactions are one of the biggest financial dealings of most people’s lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $250,000. If you had a $250,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a certified professional accountant? If you had a $250,000 legal question, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney? Considering the small upside cost and the large downside risk, it would be wise to work with a professional REALTOR^® when you are selling a home.

If you're still not convinced of the value of a REALTOR^®, here are more reasons to use one:

1. When selling your home, your REALTOR^® can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace as well as the price, financing, terms and condition of competing properties. These are key factors in getting your property sold at the best price, quickly and with minimum hassle.
2. Often, your REALTOR^® can recommend repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the salability of your property.
3. Your REALTOR^® markets your property to other real estate agents and the public. In many markets across the country, over half of real estate sales are cooperative sales; that is, a real estate agent other than yours brings in the buyer.
   Your REALTOR^® acts as the marketing coordinator, distributing information about your property to other real estate agents through a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) or other cooperative marketing networks, open houses for agents, etc. The REALTOR^® Code of Ethics requires REALTORS^® to utilize these cooperative relationships when they benefit their clients.
4. Your REALTOR^® will know when, where and how to advertise your property. There is a misconception that advertising sells real estate. NAR studies show that 82% of real estate sales are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, family and personal contacts. When a property is marketed with the help of your REALTOR^®, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Your REALTOR^® will generally prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.
5. Your REALTOR^® can help you objectively evaluate every buyer's proposal without compromising your marketing position. This initial agreement is only the beginning of a process of appraisals, inspections and financing – and a lot of possible pitfalls. Your REALTOR^® can help you write a legally binding, win-win agreement that will be more likely to make it through the process.
6. Your REALTOR^® can help close the sale of your home. Issues may arise between the initial sales agreement and closing (also called settlement or escrow), for example, unexpected repairs might be required to obtain financing or a title problem is discovered. The required paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. Your REALTOR^® is the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and move the transaction to closing.

Do you live in Oak Hill, Virginia? Are Looking for an Agent? Here is what your neighbors are saying about Bernie Kagan...

To whom it may concern,

Until my wife and I began working with Bernie Kagan, we had no reason to believe that other agents we'd worked with in the past were anything less than excellent. Working with Bernie, however, made us realize the huge difference between your average agent and a true pro.

The bottom line is this: you want Bernie on your side. Period. He blends an astute understanding of all aspects of the real estate market with a personality that is simultaneously affable and driven to serve. He was on the constant lookout for our best interest. He stopped at nothing to get us over every hurdle, tackling the interminable and unenviable details of real estate transactions with remarkable patience, experience, and composure. He was careful to involve us quickly whenever the situation called for it, while saving us time and aggravation by deftly sheltering us from nuances and negotiations that were better served by his expertise.

You would expect to pay a premium for the level of service Bernie provides. But not only does he charge the lowest fees around, my wife and I are convinced he actually saved us money... a lot of money. His expertise in all aspects of transaction negotiation helped forge the amazing deal we got - on the type of property we'd always dreamed about.

We often joked with Bernie about how we surely had to be his only clients because of all the time he spent helping us. But the fact is, we truly felt like it. There was no question that he cared for us as people, not just clients. He is a sincerely good-hearted and friendly man whom I intend to stay friends with long after the last paper is signed.

We have already referred good friends of ours to Bernie. And we urge anyone looking for an absolute top-of-the-line agent to spend a half hour talking to him and see what you've been missing.
