The common misconception for many Sellers when hiring a Realtor is that they just put their home on the MLS System and then cross their fingers for an offer!! This is why many Sellers consider using Discount Brokers as they see no value in what a Realtor does. However, Realtors are not made the same way and there are those that do a lot of work behind the scenes to ensure not only a quick and stress-free transaction but also to ensure that you net more money in your pocket!  

An experienced and educated Realtor will have the ability to sell your home and obtain the best price under the current market conditions. Here are a few points to consider before using a Discount Broker:

Can the Realtors you have interviewed:

1. Sell in any Market - do they have statistics of their sales in the slow and busy seasons

2. Market the property effectively to ensure maximum exposure and attract buyer’s attention to your specific home.

3. Assist you in showcasing your property and help create the Wow factor.

4. Highlight features of your home

5. Do the MOST important aspect which is”Negotiating the transaction"

A seasoned agent will ensure that they maximize the price, terms and conditions in your favor. They do enough transactions a year and will always put your interest ahead of theirs. An experienced agent will know how to handle the other side and put the deal together should it fall apart.

An experienced agent is not emotionally tied to the outcome of your transaction and instead is looking to maximize your returns.
