FACT:
Sellers who use a real estate
professional make an average of 16 percent more on the sale of
their homes than sellers who go it alone. It's no surprise that
only 12 percent of U. S. sellers chose "For Sale By Owner" in
2006
What is a REALTORŪ?
Not every agent is a Realtor. Only an active member of the
National Association of Realtors can call him or herself a
Realtor. NAR's membership of 1 million is composed of
residential and commercial brokers, sales agents, property
managers, appraisers, counselors, and others engaged in the
profession. Every Realtor belongs to one or more of 1,600 local
associations and boards and 54 state and territory associations.
The Realtor you hire adheres to a strict code of ethics and
professionalism while protecting and promoting ownership of
property.
