ProfeSSional exPerienceWith knowledge and training in marketing strategy, negotiation tactics, and the workings of the current real estate market, a Realtor will be able to guide you through the steps of the home-selling process and be able to explain exactly what to expect. He/she will make you aware of your rights and responsibilities, work with you to strategize the best moves according to your own goals, discuss financing options, and point you in the direction of other specialized professionals who will aid you in different stages of the process.
BeSt PriceRealtors have their fingers on the pulse of the current real estate market, and will know what comparable properties in your area are selling for. They have the resources and knowledge to establish the best asking price and to attract the highest selling price. With access to their companys professional marketing resources and connections, they will ensure potential buyers are immediately made aware of your home and market the property to sell as quickly as possible and for the most money.
ShoWcaSing exPerienceYour Realtor will know the importance of a propertys first impression. He will have experienced first-hand, for example, the impact a propertys drive-up appeal has on the rest of a potential buyers experience of your home. Your Realtor will be able to offer you tips and information on how to get your home in the best selling shape possible, in order to sell your property quickly and for top dollar.
acceSS to Qualified BuyerSRealtors save time and effort by dealing only with qualified buyers. They have access to a pool of pre-screened and pre-qualified buyers who are serious about buying a home in your neighbourhood. Realtors work hard to develop this base of qualified buyers which will become an invaluable resource for you.
negotiation SkillS Realtors serve many functions, but perhaps the most important is their role as primary negotiator on your behalf. Your Realtor realizes your goal is to sell your home as quickly as possible, and for the most money possible, and will work closely with you during the negotiation process to facilitate this goal. Realtors bring to the process the knowledge and skills to draw up legally binding contracts, to assist in negotiating offers and counter-offers, and to offer counsel and perspective as you work toward your selling goals.

8 Mistakes to AvoidWhen Buying a Home
Youve been saving for awhile, weighing your options, looking around casually. Now youve finally decided to do itwhere do you start? It is essential you do your homework before you begin. Learn from
the experiences of others, do some research. Of course, with so many details involved, slip-ups are inevitable. But be careful: learning from your mistakes may prove costly. Use the following list of pitfalls as a guide to help you avoid the most common mistakes.
1. SeArching for houSeS without getting pre- Approved by A lender:Do not mistake pre-approval by a lender with pre-qualification. Pre-qualification, the first step toward being pre-approved, will point you in the right direction, giving you an idea of the price range of houses you can comfortably afford. Pre-approval, however, means you become a cash buyer, making negotiations with the seller much easier. Be vigilant, too, of pricing your home too low: a lack of market value awareness could result in selling your home for much less than its worth.
2. Allowing firSt iMpreSSionS to overly influence your deciSionThe first impression of a home has been cited as the single most influential factor guiding many purchasers choice to buy. Make a conscious decision beforehand to examine a home as objectively as you can. Dont let the current owners style or lifestyle sway your judgment. Beneath the bad dcor or messy rooms, these homes may actually suit your needs and offer you a structurally sound base with which to work. Likewise, dont
jump at a home simply because the walls are painted your favourite colour! Make sure you thoroughly the investigate the structure beneath the paint and decor before you come to any serious decisions.
3. fAiling to hAve the hoMe inSpected before you buyBuying a home is a major financial decision that is often made after having spent very little time on the property itself. A home inspection performed by a competent company will help you enter the negotiation process with eyes wide open, offering you added reassurance that the choice youre making is a sound one, or alerting you to underlying problems that could cost you significant money in both the short and long-run. Your RealtoR can suggest reputable home inspection companies for you to consider and will ensure the appropriate clause is entered into your contract.
4. not knowing And underStAnding your rightS And obligAtionS AS liSted in the offer to purchASeMake it a priority to know your rights and obligations inside and out. A lack of understanding about your obligations may, at the very least, cause friction between yourself and the people with whom you are about to enter the contract. Wrong assumptions, poorly written/incomprehensible/missing clauses, or a lack of awareness of how the clauses apply to the purchase, could also contribute to increased costs. These problems may even lead to a void contract. So, take the time to go through the contract with a fine-tooth comb, be sure to make use of the resources and knowledge of your RealtoR!
