Why Use a Realtor?



How often have you seen a sign like this: “FOR SALE BY OWNER”. Have you ever wondered, why use a realtor at all? Why pay someone to put a sign on my lawn when I could do it myself.
Well, if that was the only thing realtors did, we would all be out of a buisness. My name is Arthur Infeld and I’m a realtor on the Space Coast of Brevard County, and if you give me just a moment, I will explain to you why you should use a realtor.
Many people believe simply because they are allowed to sell their home without a licensed real estate agent, they are better off saving money and doing it themselves. Well you also have the legal right to defend yourself in a court of law without a lawyer to save money, but you wouldn’t do that with the fear of not knowing the law and losing. Much like lawyers, realtors are required to know the laws to protect you, your money, and home. And unlike lawyers, realtors only get paid once your home has been sold.
Realtors are effective, based not only on their knowledge of real estate and the market, but also have the proper tools to make selling your home smooth, easy, and fun.
First we can aquaint you with the market and recognize the competing properties. This means not overvaluing your property and having it spend to much time on the market. More importantly , this means not underpricing your property and losing money.
Once on the market, realtors have the proper avenues to market and effectively advertise your home. The more people who know your home is on the market, the higher the demand. With demand high for your property, the better chance of moving it quickly and at a price you will be happy with.
Ofcourse once you have a potential buyer, your realtor will be able to evaluate whether or not they are financially feasible to be considered serious.
Remember your realtor is there to make sure that the whole process of selling your home goes smooth from putting it on the market till all legal contracts are correct and signed.
Your buyers will have someone on their side. You should have some one on yours.
