All real estate licensees are not the same. Only real estate licensees who are

members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS are properly called

REALTORS. They proudly display the REALTOR logo on the business card orother 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 reports that 84% of home buyers would use the

same REALTOR again.

Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most

people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $100,000. If

you had a $100,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without

the help of a CPA? If you had a $100,000 legal question, would you deal with it with-

out the help of an attorney? Considering the small upside cost and the large downsiderisk, it would be foolish to consider a deal in real estate without the professional

assistance of a REALTOR.

But if youre still not convinced of the value of a REALTOR, here are a dozen

more reasons to use one:

1. Your REALTOR can help you determine your buying power -- that is, your

financial reserves plus your borrowing capacity. If you give a REALTOR some

basic information about your available savings, income and current debt, he or she

can refer you to lenders best qualified to help you. Most lenders -- banks and mort-

gage companies -- offer limited choices.

2. Your REALTOR has many resources to assist you in your home search. Some-

times the property you are seeking is available but not actively advertised in the mar-

ket, and it will take some investigation by your agent to find all available properties.

3. Your REALTOR can assist you in the selection process by providing objective

information about each property. Agents who are REALTORS have access to a vari-

ety of informational resources. REALTORS can provide local community informa-

tion on utilities, zoning. schools, etc. There are two things youll want to know. First,

will the property provide the environment I want for a home or investment? Second,

will the property have resale value when I am ready to sell?

4. Your REALTOR can help you negotiate. There are myriad negotiating factors,

including but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession and often the

inclusion or exclusion of repairs and furnishings or equipment. The purchase agree-

ment should provide a period of time for you to complete appropriate inspections and

investigations of the property before you are bound to complete the purchase. Your

agent can advise you as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or

required.

5. Your REALTOR provides due diligence during the evaluation of the property.

Depending on the area and property, this could include inspections for termites, dry

rot, asbestos, faulty structure, roof condition, septic tank and well tests, just to namea few. Your REALTOR can assist you in finding qualified responsible professionals

to do most of these investigations and provide you with written reports. You will also

want to see a preliminary report on the title of the property. Title indicates ownership

of property and can be mired in confusing status of past owners or rights of access.

The title to most properties will have some limitations; for example, easements

(access rights) for utilities. Your REALTOR, title company or attorney can help you

resolve issues that might cause problems at a later date.

6. Your REALTOR can help you in understanding different financing options and

in identifying qualified lenders.

7. Your REALTOR can guide you through the closing process and make sure

everything flows together smoothly.

8. When selling your home, your REALTOR can give you up-to-date information

on what is happening in the marketplace and 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.

9. Your REALTOR markets your property to other real estate agents and the

public. Often, your REALTOR

can recommend repairs or cosmetic work that willsignificantly enhance the salability of your property. Your REALTOR markets your

property to other real estate agents and the public. In many markets across the coun-

try, over 50% 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 coordi-

nator, disbursing information about your property to other real estate agents through

a Multiple Listing Service 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.

10. Your REALTOR will know when, where and how to advertise your property.

There is a misconception that advertising sells real estate. The NATIONAL ASSO-CIATION OF REALTORS 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.

11. Your REALTOR can help you objectively evaluate every buyers proposal

without compromising your marketing position. This initial agreement is only the

beginning of a process of appraisals, inspections and financing -- a lot of possible pit-

falls. Your REALTOR

can help you write a legally binding, win-win agreement thatwill be more likely to make it through the process.

12. Your REALTOR can help close the sale of your home. Between the initial

sales agreement and closing (or settlement), questions may arise. For example, unex-

pected repairs are required to obtain financing or a cloud in the title 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 (or settlement).
