Do I really need a Realtor?

Published April 5, 2024

Maximized Exposure

The key to selling quickly and getting top dollar is exposure. The more people who see your home, the sooner you will find a willing buyer. How do you get the most exposure? If you sell the home yourself, you will get some exposure by putting up a sign, running some ads, and telling your friends. On the other hand, if you work with a REALTOR you will get instant and mass exposure to a large number of prospective home buyers.

MLS®

A REALTOR has access to the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®). This service, a computerized system operated by the local real estate board, compiles information about listed properties in the area and makes it accessible to member companies. As a result, when a REALTOR lists your home, REALTORS from other companies learn about your home and try to match it with buyers with whom they are working. These buyers may include people from out-of-town who are trying to relocate to your area.

A REALTOR can speed the selling process in other ways:

  • By specializing in real estate, a REALTOR knows market values and can therefore
    help you set a competitive price for your home.
  • A REALTOR can free you from the hassles associated with showing your home
    and screen out people who are merely curious.
  • A REALTOR is objective when negotiating with buyers and experienced in reading
    the fine print of contracts.
  • By staying on top of the mortgage market, a REALTOR may know how to wade
    through financing tangles and clinch a sale.
  • Selling a home is not something that anyone can do in their off-hours. It’s a
    specialized service best handled by a professional. Best handled by a REALTOR.

A pre-purchase inspection is a good idea

Published March 22, 2024

Considering a pre-purchase inspection before selling your home? It’s a wise move. A professional inspection prior to listing gives you the chance to address any issues you might not be aware of, potentially increasing your home’s value and attractiveness to buyers.

Not only does it provide transparency to potential buyers, but it also helps you avoid any last-minute surprises that could derail a sale. By addressing issues beforehand, you can negotiate from a position of strength.

For a reputable inspector in Calgary and surrounding areas, look no further than Bill Brandsma Real Estate. Call 403-606-1765 for a referral. Don’t wait until a buyer’s inspector uncovers problems — be proactive and ensure a smooth selling process.

Bill Brandsma offers free home and property evaluations

Published March 15, 2024

Property evaluations refer to the process of assessing the value of real estate. This is typically done by licensed professionals such as real estate appraisers or property valuers. The evaluation takes into account various factors including the property’s location, size, condition, amenities, comparable sales in the area, and current market trends.

Property evaluations enable you to get the most money for your asking price of your home or property when you decide to sell it. I offer this service at absolutely no cost to you. You may reach me by phone at 403-606-1765 or by e-mail at bill@billbrandsma.com to find out further details and set up an appointment for your evaluation.

Save yourself time and money by using this free service. ~ Bill Brandsma
