The REALTOR® you work with could be one of your most valuable resources. Unlike many real estate agents who are simply licensed by their state to do business, REALTORS® have taken additional steps to become members of the local board of REALTORS® and have agreed to act under and adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. REALTORS® are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. An independent survey reports that 84% of home buyers would use the same REALTOR® again.

Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $100,000. If you had a $100,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If you had a $100,000 legal question, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney? Considering the small upside cost and the large downside risk, it would be foolish to consider a deal in real estate without the professional assistance of a REALTOR®.

What Our REALTORS® Can Do for You


Our REALTORS® can help you determine how much home you can afford. Often a REALTOR® can suggest ways to accrue the down payment and explain alternative financing methods.


Our REALTORS®, in addition to knowing the local money market, also can tell you what personal and financial data to bring with you when you apply for a loan.


Our REALTORS® are already familiar with current real estate values, taxes, utility costs, municipal services and facilities, and may be aware of local zoning changes that could affect your decision to buy.


Our REALTORS® can usually research your housing needs in advance through a Multiple Listing Service--even if you are relocating from another city.


Our REALTORS® can show you only those homes best suited to your needs--size, style, features, location, accessibility to schools, transportation, shopping and other personal preferences.


Our REALTORS® often can suggest simple, imaginative changes that make a home more suitable for you and improve its utility and value.


Our REALTORS® can assist you when purchasing a newly built home by protecting your interests and guide you along the right path.


Our REALTORS® can suggest builders with reputations for delivering a high-quality product, responding quickly to issues, and being financially sound.

Our REALTORS® are sensitive to the importance you place on this major commitment you are about to make. Look for a real estate professional to facilitate negotiation of a win-win agreement that will satisfy both you and the seller.
