You Don’t NEED a Realtor…But You Should Have one…

December 21, 2009 Daniele Summerfield

You’ve probably heard that people tell you that you NEED a REALTOR®. The general public should not try to sell on their own, but truthfully…. Really, People don’t need us. Honestly. Our jobs are really nonexistent. WE need YOU! Yes. You read correctly. We Realtors need you John Q Public. If it weren’t for people having hectic lifestyles and not wanting to do what we do, we would be out of work.

Here are a few reasons why you don’t need us.

  1. Can you read the paper? If so, you can look for houses.
  2. Can you pick up the phone or knock on the door and talk to the sellers about the house? If so, you can research the home.
  3. Can you fill in the blanks on a form? If so, you can write a purchase and sale agreement.
  4. Can you set up and organize appointments? If so, you can organize inspections, repairs and keep contract dates in order.
  5. Can you call a Real Estate Attorney to host your closing? If so you can purchase a home.

So you see….you don’t NEED us… We need you. You can buy and sell real estate on your own…but here’s why you SHOULD seek the help of a REALTOR®.

  1. We have a much larger database of homes to search through thats fast and pretty efficient cutting your search time in half.
  2. We have relationships with other businesses that can save you time and money when looking for an inspector, painter, roofer etc…
  3. We know what the fine print says in those 8 to who knows how many page contracts; and can translate the legalese so you understand what the lawyers who wrote them are trying to say.
  4. We protect your interests by being your negotiators.
  5. We keep the paperwork organized so you don’t have to.
  6. We are your personal assistants to write e-mails, make phone calls and keep appointments if you can not.
  7. We educate ourselves when the laws change and even when they don’t.
  8. We are your piece of mind.

There are LOADS more reasons why someone looking to buy or sell should hire a REALTOR®, but you, the public, are our job security and I want to say thank you to all my current, past and future clients for ensuring I have a job. I truly enjoy taking the time to ensure a transaction is completed and everyone is happy. I, literally, try to take the stress of home buying or home selling off your shoulders so you can focus on moving forward to the next step in your lives.

Thank you.
