Buying or selling? Choosing to work with a realtor is one of the smartest things you can do. Realtors are always looking out for your best interest. They match the right buyers to the right home and know how to market homes to the right buyers. As members of the National Association of Realtors they follow a code of ethics. A realtor can help you get a better price, save time, also they have access to the MLS and hidden listings. Your realtor will also have access to listings faster- he or she has connections with other realtors and may learn of a listing before it hits the market. A realtor keeps up with what is going on in your community and in the wider market. He or She will be able to determine fair market value of your home or the home you are looking at. They can also do a Comparative market value analysis on the home.  A Realtor may have some different ideas on how to market your home or a new idea on how to help find the perfect home for you. The market is ever changing, and a realtor keeps up with the latest changes and the newest listings.
