QUALIFYING BUYERS

A REALTOR® can qualify potential buyers to see whether they can afford your home and also identify whether you home meets their needs.

SAFETY AND SECURITY

When you place your property on the market, you open your home to strangers-individuals who may have thoughts of something other than buying a home. REALTORS® provide a certain measure of security, in that they have met and talked with the buyers and may have had experience in handling certain situations.

NEGOTIATING CONTRACTS

Once a prospective buyer makes an offer to purchase a property, the negotiating process begins. A REALTOR® understands both the technical and emotional aspects of the negotiation process, and can often bring the two parties to an agreement.

ARRANGE FINANCING

The world of mortgage financing is constantly changing and a REALTOR® plays a vital role in keeping buyers and sellers up-to-date on the most current information. A REALTOR® also can help determine what type of mortgage plan will best fit the buyer’s particular needs.
