Realtor vs. Real Estate Agent

What is the difference between a Realtor and a Real Estate Agent? Some folks use these identifiers interchangably but there is a huge difference. Realtors belong to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and usually their local Association of Realtors. By doing so, they commit themselves to a higher level of ethics. Realtors are not allowed to call another Realtor's clients nor are they allowed to solicit that client. They are also required to put their client's interest above their own. Non-NAR members don't have to.

This is just good information to make you a smarter consumer. Realtors don't make more than a Real Estate Agent but I think you'll find they definitely work hard to earn it.

Maximizing Home Sale Profits

I was recently reading an article in About.com that talks about getting the most for your home. The identified one of the primary truths in selling your home. - It isn't what you think your home is worth. It is what the BUYER thinks its worth.

This is one of the hardest things for an agent to communicate to a seller so feel free to do your homework - or rather let your agent do the homework! Make sure they get the resently sold comparables AND what is on the market now. Home values are changing constantly so take a hard look at what your home looks like compared to what the competition looks like. Everyone is looking for that great deal but if that great deal is also the "shiny penny" in the bunch, it is sold so fast your head will spin! Wouldn't you like that to be you?

Let me know if you have any questions or comments and good luck!

Opportunities for More Effective Home Selling

Make sure your agent utilizes the latest technology, such as Internet sites that cater to homebuyers. Ins ome areas, cable access advertising is popular. Others use 800-number interactive voice response systems. A good agent will know where you can get the best exposure.

If you'd like to ask me what I does in these areas, feel free to call me at 949.683.4979.

Good luck!
