Why Sell Your Home With A REALTOR®

Be sure your real estate agent is a REALTOR®. Why?

• High Visibility - Since the MLS works as a clearinghouse through which more than 500 real estate firms exchange information on homes they have listed for sale, it assures your home of the widest possible exposure to prospective buyers, including being posted on RILiving.com, Rhode Island's most comprehensive real estate web site.
• Quick Dissemination - As soon as your listing is taken, it is entered into the computer where it becomes immediately accessible by Participants who subscribe to the on-line computer service. All Participants receive a bi-weekly book of the current active listings.
• Computerized Database - More and more offices are installing computer terminals in their own offices. These units provide printouts of absolutely up-to-the-minute information on homes that have just been put on the market in your community, homes that have just been sold, and the number of prospective buyers who are interested in your home.
• Knowledge - A REALTOR® knows the local housing market and can help you set a fair market price based on the quarterly sold reports which can show you what has recently been sold through the MLS. With this information, you can feel much more confident about the price you put on your home.
• Effectiveness - You have the REALTOR's® professional help to rely on at every step of the sale, from first showing to final closing. The REALTOR® doesn't waste your time with casual sightseers or window shoppers. The prospects the REALTOR® brings to see your home are genuinely interested.
