Fact #1: Realtors are Real Estate Specialists. Not all real estate professionals are created equally. There are over four thousand Realtors licensed real estate professionals in the San Antonio area, but only members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) can call themselves Realtors. This association requires a strict adherence to the “Code of Ethics” that places requirements on professional behavior, and it offers advanced educational opportunities to its members. A Certified Residential Specialists (CRS) typically has more experience and education than licensed realtors and make up less than five percent of all agents nationwide.

Fact #2: Realtors Lower Your Risk. Realtors can represent your interests and bring to your attention information that you may not have considered when making one of the largest purchases in your life time. Otherwise, it is buyer beware. Incredibly, many states do not have laws or regulatory bodies in place that protect consumers in many situations. If you have a Realtor as your advocate, he or she will make recommendations that will assure that you are buying or selling a home that is safe, environmentally sound and priced fairly according to current market conditions. In Short, a Realtor will save you tons.

Fact #3: Realtors Have Information You Don’t Have. It can take several days before a home is posted to the internet. By the time a buyer becomes aware of a property, it could very well be sold in today’s market. Clever agents network with each other. Your agent will tell other agents about you and your wish list in a home in exchange for information about upcoming homes for sale which are not yet on the internet. Many homes are bought and sold this way without a sign ever going into the yard. If you want to be the buyer positioned to make the first and best offers on desirable homes, hire an agent who will look out for your best interest.

Fact #4: Realtors Understand the Complexity of the Transaction. Not long ago, homes were sold on two page contracts. Now consumer-mandated seller’s disclosures, environmental and structural reports, and other legal documents have turned the home transfer into a potential minefield. Many buyers going it alone have found themselves in uncomfortable positions seeking legal counsel. Realtors work with contracts daily, and can fully understand which points are harmful and/or beneficial to you. From helping you make a reasonable offer, to providing for the discovery and disclosure of material facts, your agent can also correctly interpret information for you. Why would a buyer pursue the largest investment in his or her life without the faithful free services of a Realtor?

Fact #5: Realtors are Homeowner Advocates. You can thank Realtors and their association with the National Association of Realtors for the tax advantages of home ownership. Benefits like paying no capital gains when you sell a property, and deducting the mortgage interest from your taxes is directly tied to the Realtor PAC who lobby yearly for the interests of homeowners. Every year Realtors are responsible for preventing legislators from overturning generous government sponsored homeowners benefits. These initiatives keep housing affordable and make them better investments, enabling more buyers than ever before to move into a home of their own. Remember, every time you put a Realtor to work, you are working to keep your homeowner benefits in place.
