Buying A Home?

Here's how a REALTOR
is of service to YOU!

1. A REALTOR knows real estate values and can intelligently determine the fair market price of a home at the time of purchase.

2. A REALTOR has a list of available properties in various neighborhoods and in different price ranges, and works closely with other REALTORS in sharing information about what properties are available.

3. A REALTOR is familiar with each house he or she offers for sale and, in most cases, has personally inspected the property.

4. Because a REALTOR knows your financial position, your basic needs and desires, he or she will only show you homes that "fit the bill". He or she will not waste your time on properties you can't afford or would not be interested in.

5. A REALTOR knows real estate values, can recommend homes that will fit your budget, and will answer all questions concerning zoning, the neighborhood, schools, churches, shopping centers, and transportation.

6. A REALTOR does not have personal ties or fond memories concerning the property. He or she will answer all questions objectively, pointing out any defects or advantages in a particular home.

7. A REALTOR is familiar with local lending institutions, knows how much down payment will be required, and what the approximate monthly payments and closing costs will be.

8. A REALTOR will work closely with you, showing you every available property that meets your specifications. He or she will never "high pressure" you into buying something that you're not completely satisfied with.

9. A REALTOR is experienced in presenting your offer on a home you have selected and will guide you through the negotiation stages.

10. A REALTOR operates under a strict Code of Ethics enforced by the National Association of Realtors, assuring you the most competent, professional and ethical performance available.
