Why Use a REALTOR®?
Selling a home is a complex process involving what’s likely to be your most prized financial asset. Enacting a smooth transaction for your home’s full value requires the expertise of a REALTOR® such as Stacy Eder. Stacy’s extensive training has prepared her to generate the best possible results on your behalf. Much like you wouldn’t treat a broken leg without a doctor or handle a major legal dispute without an attorney, it’s unwise to buy or sell a home without the professional assistance of a REALTOR®.

Naturally, every seller wants to reap the highest return from a home sale. That makes it tempting to try selling the home on your own, thereby saving a REALTORs® fees.

But consider this relevant research... a study conducted by the National Association of REALTORs® (NAR) found that 82 percent of real-estate sales result from REALTORs’ contacts with previous clients, referrals and other sources. Additionally, NAR concluded that most homes sell for 3 percent to 9.5 percent more when sold through a REALTOR®.

Selling your home through Stacy can yield abundant advantages. To highlight a few:

  • REALTOR®’s have access to Multiple Listing Services (MLS) they use to provide information about your property to thousands of consumers through their REALTOR®’s. REALTOR®’s have other marketing vehicles, such as open houses and referral networks, at their disposal. Through your REALTOR®’s marketing efforts, a much broader range of qualified buyers will be informed that your property is available.

  • As a seasoned pro at negotiation skills and tactics, Stacy Eder can maintain objectivity in assessing buyer’s proposals and developing offers and counter-offers. Throughout the transaction, including appraisals, inspections and legally binding agreements, you can depend on Stacy’s know-how to avoid potential pitfalls.

  • Sales transactions include intricate legal and regulatory requirements. As a trained and licensed REALTOR®, Stacy is familiar with the regulations. She can help you understand and adhere to them.

  • Stacy works with her clients to address home improvements and tips that will enhance your home’s salability.

  • REALTORs® offer you the benefit of their extensive, professional sales training.
