Setting the Price

REALTORS® have access to the market data to help a seller set an appropriate price. Studies show that a home correctly priced upon listing sells more quickly, and at a higher price.

Time Management

The agent stands-in for a seller or acquire important information and asks the right questions to protect their client(s).

Innovation

Technology has revolutionized consumer behavior, but none rival the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) where agents can access and share information on properties, and supports clear cooperation.

It's a full-time job to sell a home. You have to prep for showings, qualify buyers, complete endless paperwork, market the listing, and all of the day-to-day tasks that keep your listing presentable and in front of buyers. In addition to the listing activities, the REALTOR gets a whole set of new tasks when you accept an offer from a buyer.  Most sellers already have full-time jobs, that's why you need a REALTOR® because, for them, this is it.

​Sellers sometimes think they can save money by not hiring a REALTOR® to sell their home, but the benefits can far outweigh the costs.
