When it comes to buying a home and hiring an agent you have a choice to whether or not you hire an agent who is a REALTOR®. Only those agents who are REALTORS® are members of the National Association of REALTORS® and have the backing of a nationwide organization and who subscribe to a strict code of ethics.
Most don’t realize that only about half of all real estate agents are REALTORS®. Currently 79% of buyers use a broker or agent when they purchase their home. So why should you choose an agent who is also a REALTOR®?
1. REALTORS® are experts in their local market – we are experts here in Avalon Park, the Orlando metro are, as well as most of Central Florida.
2. REALTORS® can help you determine your buying power in the communities you are looking to move to.
3. REALTORS® negotiate on your behalf to save you the paperwork and back and forth exchange when agreeing on the right deal.
4. REALTORS® take care of the legal paperwork and due diligence throughout a transaction. Only REALTORS® have access to specific prewritten contract types and have a plethora of education options available to keep their skills current and relevant for todays market.
5. REALTORS® have access to the MLS – a property database used by other REALTORS® and often available online. Most homes are advertised on the MLS so if you are house hunting then you will need a agent who has access to this system.
6. Only REALTORS® Follow a Code of Ethics – To be a member of NAR and a REALTOR®, a real estate agent must abide by a set of professional principles and serve clients fairly. This means that they will always do right by you.
