When researching the question why would you use a REALTOR®  I came across more reasons to use a  REALTOR® and Very few reasons not to use a REALTOR® here a couple of the most common reasons.
      1.       I had a bad experience with a REALTOR®/REALTORS®.
      2.       I need to make more money on the sell of our home.
3.       I don’t have enough equity in our home and cannot write a check for commission.

listing: What is Market Value? - 04/11/10 03:12 PM
