What is a REALTOR®?
Sunday, March 21st, 2010
REALTORS are servants. All of us have experienced good service, and occasionally service that leaves us feeling neglected. Many books are written about how to give quality service. Realtors are trained to help and serve. There is something about a Realtor’s heart—they really care about their clients. Have you considered how difficult it is to move? Packing up personal belongings, leaving behind favorite neighbors, deciding where furniture should be placed in the new home. Realtors work with their clients during difficult times and continue to be cheerful, encouraging and supportive.
REALTORS are resources for information. Have you ever had a question about where to find a good roofer? Or maybe need advice regarding someone to help with home updating projects? Call your REALTOR—he/she can offer help. Maybe it’s simply direction to a favorite web site (such as www.houselogic.com) or possibly a referral to honest and quality contractors.
REALATORS are advocates. Our goal is to represent the client to assure that they buy or sell properties with all knowledge and disclosure. Sellers can expect honesty and all-out efforts to market the client’s properties. Buyers can expect good advice regarding the market and how to move forward with wise purchasing skills.
REALTORS are specialists. We live in a world of specialists. Educators, doctors, even retail stores specialize. REALTORS specialize in property values, marketing, staging, real estate laws, and how to serve! We are sensitive to the importance you place on this major investment and commitment you are about to make.
REALTORS are professionals practicing under a Code of Ethics. The standards of the code assure the public that they will be served according to high principles of integrity and honesty. We hold one another accountable and continually strive to grow in character.
Your dream is our dream! The commitment of your REALTOR is based not just on the need to earn a living—it’s helping you and your family meet defined goals. We only earn a living if your needs are met.
