Why Sell with a REALTOR®

Navigating the increasingly complex real estate transaction is much easier when sellers have professional help.

Unrepresented sellers have no access to fundamental marketing services, such as a Multiple Listing Service, and cannot list their homes there. Sellers who use a real estate professional sell their homes for more than FSBO sales home than do sellers who go it alone.

REALTORS® have specific knowledge of local markets and know what matters to buyers in your area. REALTORS® sell hundreds, if not thousands, of homes over the course of their careers, compared to the average person who may only move a handful of times during their lifetime.

As an expert in marketing and negotiation, your Illinois REALTOR®:

• Can help you set a realistic price and ensure the proper paperwork, various disclosures and inspections are handled correctly.
• Knows how to prepare a home for sale and show it more objectively than a seller who may be emotionally attached to the home.
• Can attract qualified buyers and provide broad exposure to the market. REALTORS® also are more likely to generate multiple bids than sellers can on their own.
