When is a
real estate agent in Atlanta a REALTOR®?
When
they are a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®,
-- the world's largest professional association. The term
REALTOR® is a registered collective membership mark that
identifies a real estate professional who is a member of
the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and subscribes to
its strict Code of Ethics. Founded in 1908, NAR has grown
from its original nucleus of 120 to today's 1,200,000
members. NAR is composed of residential and commercial
REALTORS®, who are brokers, salespeople, property
managers, appraisers, counselors and others engaged in all
aspects of the real estate industry. Members belong to one
or more of some 1,700 local associations/boards and 54
state and territory associations of REALTORS®. They can
join one of our many institutes, societies and councils.
Additionally, NAR offers members the opportunity to be
active in our appraisal and international real estate
specialty sections. REALTORS® are pledged to a strict
Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. Working for
America's property owners, the National Association
provides a facility for professional development, research
and exchange of information among its members and to the
public and government for the purpose of preserving the
free enterprise system and the right to own real property.
Can a real estate
agent really help me in buying and selling property? The
answer is YES!
When you're ready to think about buying or selling your
property, you need to ask yourself the following
questions: Do you have the time, energy, sources of
information, and contacts to do the job yourself? If you
were one of the 'do-it-yourself' people, would the results
be as good or better than they would be if you had
professional assistance? Would it have gone smoother?
Would it have given you more personal time? Would you have
purchased for less, or sold for more, if a real estate
agent was involved? Read the following information and
learn how a real estate agent can help you understand
everything you need to know about a real estate
transaction.
The Home Buying Process
The process of buying a home or investment generally
starts with determining your buying power; that is, your
financial reserves plus your borrowing capacity. If you
give a real estate agent some basic information about your
available savings, income and current debt, they can refer
you to lenders best qualified to help you. Most lenders --
banks and mortgage companies -- offer limited choices.
How Do Real Estate Agents Get Paid?
Real estate agents or brokers are generally paid through
the sales commission paid by the seller when a transaction
closes. Agents have expenses and financial obligations
just like you, so it will be to your mutual benefit if you
choose a real estate agent and stick with that person. The
agent will respect your loyalty and respond with a sincere
commitment to you.
Why A REALTOR®?
All real estate licensees are not the same. Only real
estate licensees who are members of the NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® are properly called REALTORS®.
They proudly display the REALTOR "®" logo on
the business card or other marketing and sales literature.
REALTORS® are committed to treat all parties to a
transaction honestly. REALTORS® subscribe to a strict
code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level
of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real
estate. An independent survey reports that 84% of home
buyers would use the same REALTOR® again.
Using a REALTOR®
You Be the Judge!
Real Estate transactions involve one of the biggest
financial investments most people experience in their
lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $100,000. If
you had a $100,000 income tax problem, would you attempt
to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If you had a
$100,000 legal question, would you deal with it without
the help of an attorney? Considering the small upside cost
and the large downside risk, it would be foolish to
consider a deal in real estate without the professional
assistance of a REALTOR®!
