REALTORS |
Before placing a home on the market you should also identify Real Estate Professionals in your community
who can assist with the sale that are members of NAR (National Association of Realtors®).
NAR members must adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. By joining NAR, individuals have access to a wide
range of classes, seminars and certification opportunities. Local Real Estate Professional groups are active
in community matters, and individual members are routinely involved in PTAs and other neighborhood
organizations.
In essence, local Real Estate Professionals are community experts. They track real estate trends, share
neighborhood concerns and participate in local matters. They're good neighbors who are in the business of
helping others buy and sell homes.
How do you choose a Real Estate Professional?
Whether you're a first-time seller or someone who has sold many homes, there are several ways to find a
local Real Estate Professional:
• Get recommendations from past sellers.
• Look for Real Estate Professional signs in your community.
• Check the classifieds in local newspapers and "shopper" publications.
• Look at the listings in local real estate magazines.
In some cases, sellers elect to meet only with one Real Estate Professional while other owners elect to meet
with several. Whatever your preference, there will be a number of questions you will want to ask, including:
What services do you offer?
What type of representation do you provide? (There are various forms of representation in different states.
Some brokers represent buyers, some represent sellers, some facilitate transactions as a neutral party, and
in some cases different salespeople in a single firm may represent different parties within a transaction.)
What experience do you have in my immediate area?
How long are homes in this neighborhood typically on the market? (Be aware that because all homes are
unique, some will sell faster than others. Several factors can impact the amount of time a home remains on
the market, including changing interest rates and local economic trends.)
How would you price my home?
Ask about recent home sales and comparable properties currently on the market. If you speak with several
Real Estate Professionals and their price estimates differ, that's OK, but be sure to ask how their price
opinions were determined and why they think your home would sell for a given value.
How will you market my home?
At listing presentations, brokers will provide a detailed summary of how they market homes, what marketing
strategies have worked in the past and which marketing efforts may be effective for your home.
What is your fee?
Brokerage fees are established in the marketplace and not set by law or regulation. Typically, brokers who
list homes are compensated on a performance basis - that is, the broker is not paid unless the home sells
under the terms and conditions that are acceptable to you.
What happens if another Real Estate Professional locates a purchaser?
That is, who will that broker represent, and how will he or she be paid? What disclosures should you
receive? State rules require brokers to provide extensive agency disclosure information, usually at the first
sit-down meeting with an owner or buyer. How long do you want to list your home? A "listing" agreement is a
contract that shows the broker's obligations and outlines the terms under which your home is being made
available for sale. The length of the agreement is a negotiable matter.
What should you expect when working with a Real Estate Professional?
Once your home is listed with a Real Estate Professional, he or she will immediately begin to market your
home according to the most appropriate conventions for your community.
Your Real Estate Professional should keep you informed as the marketing process unfolds and as
expressions of interest are received. In time, the marketing plan may be modified to reflect buyer reactions
and changes in the marketplace.
In real estate there are written offers and oral offers. Oral offers ("Would they take $225,000 for the
home?") are not acceptable because they generally cannot be enforced ("Gee, did I say $225,000? I was
sure I said $215,000"). Written offers created by the Real Estate Professional with assistance from qualified
attorneys address numerous issues, are consistent with local requirements and provide the foundation for
an actionable offer.
