|  WHY SHOULD I USE A REALTOR?Whether you're planning on buying or selling a home, coop, condo choosing the Real Estate Agent is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. 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 without the help of an attorney? Considering the small upside cost and the large downside risk, it would be foolish to consider a deal in real estate without the professional assistance of a Real Estate Agent. | |

When selling a home, coop, condo a Real Estate Agent can be an indispensable resource. We can give you up-to-date information regarding prices, financing, terms and conditions of competing properties, and information about the housing market in general. We will market your property to other real estate agents as well as to the public, and will know the best way to go about doing so. We can also help you objectively evaluate buyer proposals, and then, finally, help you close the sale. The desire to save the commission is the major reason some sellers decide not to work with a Real Estate Agent. Most prospective buyers who look for FSBO properties, also want to avoid the commission, and to get a less-than-market-value deal. In fact, a 2002 study on Home Sellers reports that the Median Sales Price of an agent-assisted home was 27% higher than one sold "by owner". Statistics also show that about 97.5 % of all FSBO sellers end up listing their home with a Realtor. |
