What
a REALTORŪ Can Do for You
The REALTORŪ you work with could be one
of your most valuable resources. Unlike many real estate agents who are
simply licensed by their state to do business, REALTORSŪ have taken
additional steps to become members of the local board of REALTORSŪ and
have agreed to act under and adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. Plus...
- A REALTORŪ can help you determine
how much home you can afford. Often a REALTORŪ can suggest ways to
accrue the down payment and explain alternative financing methods.
- A REALTORŪ, in addition to knowing
the local money market, also can tell you what personal and
financial data to bring with you when you apply for a loan.
- A REALTORŪ is already familiar with
current real estate values, taxes, utility costs, municipal services
and facilities, and may be aware of local zoning changes that could
affect your decision to buy.
- A REALTORŪ can usually research your
housing needs in advance through a Multiple Listing Service--even if
you are relocating from another city.
- A REALTORŪ can show you only those
homes best suited to your needs--size, style, features, location,
accessibility to schools, transportation, shopping and other
personal preferences.
- A REALTORŪ often can suggest simple,
imaginative changes that make a home more suitable for you and
improve its utility and value.
- A REALTORŪ is sensitive to the
importance you place on this major commitment you are about to make.
Look for a real estate professional to facilitate negotiation of a
win-win agreement that will satisfy both you and the seller.
