Work With Someone Who'll Work With
You
When it comes to
buying or selling a home, you want to
feel like you're part of the process.
You want a partner to work with
you--someone to help guide you through
the unknowns and the never-ending list
of terms and conditions.
To become a real estate agent in New
York, an individual must be licensed by
New York State, either as an
agent/salesperson or as a broker. Before
licensing, minimum standards for
education, examinations and experience
must be met. After receiving a real
estate license, most agents go on to
join their local board or association of
REALTORS® and the NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, the
world's largest professional trade
association.
Only real estate licensees who are
members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS® are called REALTORS®.
As REALTORS® subscribing to a
strict code of ethics, we are expected
to maintain a high level of knowledge of
the process of buying and selling real
estate.
REALTORS have the expertise,
resources and dedication to guide you
through a real estate transaction. We
understand contracts, finances and the
laws that apply to sales and purchases.
We have the resources you'll need to
find just the right combination of
location, amenities and price range. And
we have the skills and experience to
handle negotiations and marketing of
your property, including the final
inspection and closing.
Working with a REALTOR ensures you
that your transactions will be handled
professionally. Which is why it makes
sense to talk to us before you buy or
sell. |

How a REALTOR Can Save You Time and
Money When Buying or Selling Property
Financing:
REALTORS can help determine how much
home you can afford, explain different
financing options, and refer you to the
best-qualified lender.
Selection:
REALTORS have the resources to
investigate all available properties and
provide objective information about each
property regarding the community and
other important issues.
Negotiation:
REALTORS can advise you on the following
factors: price, financing, terms, date
of possession, repairs and furnishings.
Inspection:
REALTORS can help provide enough time in
the purchase agreement for inspections
and investigations plus, advise you on
which ones are required or recommended.
Closing:
Every area has its own unique closing or
settlement customs. A local REALTOR can
help guide you through the process.
Pricing:
When selling property, REALTORS can give
you current market information to sell
your property quickly at the best price
and with minimum hassle.
Marketing:
A REALTOR can recommend repairs to
enhance the salability of your property
and expose it to other agents, the
public and cooperative marketing
networks. |
