Orlando Real Estate News

Most people do not realize the he difference between a real estate agent and a Realtor.  Only Realtors are members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Why does that matter to the many buyers and sellers who work will all kinds of agents every day? The biggest difference is Realtors are very closely monitored by the NAR to make sure they are adhering to the code of ethics they agreed to uphold. Agents in general are overseen by each state's Real Estate board which covers the whole state, they do NOT have to commit to the strict code of ethics required to be a part of the NAR.

REALTORS® Are Experts

Eighty-five percent of sellers were assisted by a real estate agent when selling their home, according to NAR's 2007 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, and 79 percent of buyers purchased their home through a real estate agent. Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest transactions in most people's life and there are too many ways the deal can go south to count. Having a qualified professional in your corner not only greatly increase you chance of a successful purchase or sale, you also get the huge amount of knowledge and expertise they bring to the table.

Many people start selling their homes themselves. Then after months on the market and the headache and heart ache that comes with that the eventually turn to Realtors.

Sellers realize the cost of hiring them is cheaper than trying to muddle through the process on their own. Realtors bring the expertise to price their home competitively with the market, organizing and conducting open houses and most of all they are connected with the largest group of professionals with over a million members strong. This connection enables Realtors to work together to get homes sold.

Remember only about half of all real estate agents are REALTORS® even though agents will cost you the same amount of money you are getting a professional who is not afraid to be judged for their conduct, their actions, and has committed to getting a successful close to your property.
