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?

The most important thing about an exclusive listing is that it can't be found on MLS.  It is a listing through one company and has to be sold through that company.  It can be advertised in newspapers, personal websites, etc. but won't be found on the largest website of all-MLS.  Since over 80% of homes for sale are found on MLS, it's not a good idea for sellers to list exclusively because your listing won't be seen by nearly as many potential buyers.

If you built a home today, your septic tank will likely be concrete with a field.  If build properly, they can be zero maintenance and may not ever have to be pumped out.  In the past, you could put any type of septic tank in including:  steel tanks, fiberglass tanks, pressure treated wood, or even just a barrel in the ground with a pipe going into a ditch instead of a proper drainage field.  Contact the Dept. of Health regarding new construction septic systems.

This depends on the realtor who lists your home.  The most important advertising is on MLS (multiple listing service) which is where most buyers look for homes.  Most buyers look for homes on the internet these days.  There are many other websites used to advertise homes for sale as well such as:  the company's website, personal websites, Kijiji, etc.  However, many properties are still advertised in local newspapers, real estate guides, etc.  When interviewing realtors, ask them how they will advertise your home for sale.
