Selecting a Real Estate Professional

The majority of real estate transactions take place with the assistance of a REALTOR®
and for good reason. Working with a professional real estate agent is the most efficient
means of shopping for a home and can help make the home buying process an easy,
hassle-free experience.

A REALTOR®:
• Helps you assess your wants and needs to find the perfect match between what
you can afford and the home that best suits your preferences.
• Keeps your personal style in mind when selecting properties to show you.
• Accesses all the properties for sale in your desired area by computer. “For Sale”
signs and newspaper ads are not always a true reflection of everything that is on
the market. Your REALTOR® always knows what’s available at any given time.
• Negotiates for you. Once you have found the home you want to buy, your
REALTOR® will write up your offer and present it to the seller. This gives you the
best opportunity to have your contract accepted.
• Gets the right price. Your REALTOR® is a specialist in your area and knows the
market inside out so you will get the best price possible.
• Allows you to make your own decision. A professional agent works for you and
respects your opinions. He or she will not try to force you into a decision you don’t
feel comfortable with.
• Protects your rights. Real estate laws have become increasingly complicated. Your
real state agent is there to assist you as an informed expert in every way.
