Buying, selling or leasing a home or other property is likely to be one of the most important financial decisions you will make. That's why it makes sense to have a trained, knowledgeable professional on your side who can give you expert guidance throughout the real estate transaction.
The value a REALTOR® brings to your next real estate transaction
cannot be underestimated.
In addition to access to the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) that ensures properties for sale or lease receive the widest exposure possible, REALTORS® can help take the stress out of buying, selling or leasing. This means you have more time to devote to other important matters. REALTORS® are skilled negotiators who can qualify potential buyers and draw up enforceable contracts. Your REALTOR® knows your neighbourhood -- REALTORS® assess market conditions and property values daily and have access to detailed market resources. Your REALTOR® also has been educated on the complex laws and regulations affecting real estate and can give you valuable advice to help ensure your interests are protected.

Selecting a REALTOR®
When selecting a REALTOR® to assist you with your real estate transaction, it's important to choose someone with whom you feel comfortable and who has the knowledge and expertise you need. Before making a final decision, talk to a number of REALTORS® and ask them about their knowledge of the neighbourhood, market conditions and their experience in dealing with the kind of property important to you.
Before you sign any agreement with your REALTOR® it's important to thoroughly discuss what kind of agency relationship you will have and what services he or she will provide. It's also important to be clear regarding what fee or commission will be charged. In the event you are selling, you will also want to review what kind of marketing plan your REALTOR® will implement for your home or property.
Remember, it pays to work with a professional; when it comes to buying, selling or leasing property, using a REALTOR® just makes sense.
