A broker can help you in
the following important ways:
Set the correct
price.
This is far more important than many people realize. If
the price is set too high, during the initial frenzy of buyer
activity it will be avoided by qualified buyers of homes in the
correct range. Eventually it will then be lowered in
price and may end up being purchased for less than true value by
bargain-seekers. A simple rule of thumb operates
here: the longer a home is on the market, the less likely
it is to receive a high offer.
Even though a broker will receive a commission from the seller,
in most cases the seller actually ends up with more in pocket,
because the broker makes the sale at a higher price.
Prepare marketing materials and a plan.
We have the materials, tools, and knowledge to produce
professional and attractive flyers
and brochures, which we distribute to other brokers, buyer
prospects as well as a large network of referral companies and
top producing agents..
Screen
buyers.
When buyers come into our office, a Realtor will
spend time with them to find out what they are financially
qualified to buy. Discuss their individual needs in
detail. This can save a lot of time.
Place your home on the internet for all to see.
These days most buyers are very internet savvy, so they look
first on the internet and compare prices. We take
numerous photos of our client's
properties and post them on this website, as well as in 3 MLS
systems online. We can also create a "visual tour"
of your property. Ask about the details when you call or email
us.
Guide you through the maze of
paperwork.
Real estate transactions require more and
more paperwork. In New York State, for instance, sellers
are asked to fill out a property disclosure form. By not doing
so you could face a $ 500
penalty at the time of closing.
