Selling a Home or Property
REALTORS® help sellers get the
best price and save time.
Sellers, rely on the expertise of a REALTOR®…
If you need to sell, be patient and price your home correctly.
Wise buyers and sellers get the facts about their
market and seek the counsel of a qualified real estate
professional—a REALTOR®—to guide them through the
complex process of buying and selling a home.
With the expert knowledge,
extensive connections and access to resources like
the Multiple Listing Service, your Illinois REALTOR®
can help you sell your property faster and get a
higher price than if you were to sell it yourself.
In fact, the median home price for sellers who
use an agent ($199,300) was higher than a home sold
on the open-market by an owner ($140,000). Just 5% of recent sellers sold their home
without professional representation.
Selling a home is a full-time job. And
most of today's buyers are online (nearly 9 of 10
recent buyers used the Internet in their home
search), and unrepresented sellers have no access to
major online marketing avenues such as REALTOR.com
and other sites with large pools of listings to
which buyers are attracted.
