Why should you look for the RealtorŪ logo when buying or selling a property?
Just as in the professions of law, medicine and engineering, REALTORS® are pledged to a stringent Code of Ethics.
When you use a REALTOR®, you know that you're dealing with a professional who is committed to fair and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters. Only REALTORS® pledge to abide by a real estate code of ethics and only REALTORS® are held accountable for their professional behavior.
REALTORS® are more than salespeople. They are market analysts, mortgage qualifiers, negotiation facilitators, and most importantly, financial counselors. REALTORS® can guide you through the property transaction, providing the information and resources needed for you to make sound decisions. Here are a few ways that working with a REALTOR® works for you, whether you're a buyer or seller:
| A REALTOR® has extensive information about what is on the market, so you won't waste time looking at unsuitable properties. If you're selling, a REALTOR® gives you quick exposure to the maximum number of buyers. |
| A REALTOR® helps you determine how much home you can afford, how you can acquire the down payment, and what financing options are available. For sellers, a REALTOR® knows current real estate values and can help you set a realistic, competitive price. |
| A REALTOR® can suggest simple changes that could make a prospective home more suitable for you and improve its utility and value. They can also suggest ways to make your property more marketable when selling. |
| A REALTOR® can supply information on real estate values, taxes, utility costs, municipal services and facilities, and may be aware of proposed zoning changes that could affect your decision to buy. |
| A REALTOR® maintains objectivity in presenting advantages and disadvantages of potential properties and in presenting offers and counter-offers between buyers and sellers. |
| A REALTOR® can familiarize you with closing procedures by explaining them in advance. Sellers will benefit from a REALTOR'S® knowledge of figuring net proceeds, taking into account loan balance, closing costs, etc. |
| A REALTOR® knows how to market your property effectively, tapping into referrals and proven marketing techniques while freeing you from the problems associated with showing your property yourself. |
Published by the Virginia Association of REALTORS®. The term REALTOR® is a registered collective membership mark which identifies real estate professionals who are members of the National Association of REALTORS® and subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics.
