First, you try to sell your home on your own by placing a “By Owner” sign on your front lawn, but after a month you’ve only had a few prospects that led nowhere. At this point you decide to list your home with a professional Realtor®.
You discover that the agent doesn’t do things the way you did. Trying to be business oriented you ran an advertisement in the classifieds every weekend, but your Realtor® has only done so twice in the first month that you’ve had the property listed, but you notice that since you’ve transferred over, your home is seeing a lot more action than you saw.
Your professional Realtor® is able to use many powerful tools that most individuals are not able to use, such as national and worldwide referral networks and the Multiple Listing Service. Realtors® advertise many homes that might result in a telephone call from persons interested in buying your home. They work together in many aspects of business with other Realtors®.
Although you are only listing with one Realtor®, they make your home available to other agents, thus allowing effective tools to be used by many people to make it easier to sell your home for you.
