Why Use A REALTOR®

Realtors are required to take an 85 hour course administered by the New Brunswick Real Estate Association. Upon completion of the course, obtaining 75% on the exam, and passing the Department of Justice checks, we are given a license to sell real estate. Successful applicants still have to be hired by a real estate firm in order to be able to buy or sell property. We are required to take ongoing training and courses as well.

Why Sell Your House Using a Realtor?

  1. The Best Exposure
    Realtors use MLS.ca, other websites, newspapers, lawn signs & other advertising mediums to give you as much exposure as possible. All of this is at no cost to you unless your house sells. Your new listing will be seen within hours by all realtors who have clients waiting to buy properties like yours.
  2. Determining the Market Value of your Home
    A realtor’s experience is crucial in helping you price your house properly. We have access to information such as what has sold, the selling price vs. listed price, how long homes were on the market before selling, expired listings, existing market conditions, etc.
  3. Experience
    We are experts in showing homes, negotiation, and the real estate market in general. This is what we do each and every day.
  4. Proven Results
    Realtors can help your home sell faster and put more money in your pocket. How? Most buyers use realtors to purchase homes since it is a free service to buyers. Those realtors buy from other realtors who have listed homes like yours. Most buyers in the marketplace are working with us, not buying privately. More buyers could mean more competition to buy your home resulting in a faster sale and more money in your pocket.
  5. And the Facts Are…
    90% of all for sale by owners end up listing through a realtor. Since the chances are that you will be listing with a realtor anyway, why spend extra time and money trying to sell your home privately?
