What REALTORS do for Sellers

Why Sellers Need a REALTOR
Many times I'm surprised that the general public does not seem to understand how much work goes into the sale of a home. It's been almost three years since I first posted this, but I think it bears repeating. I often use it in a Listing Presentation. Not that I expect ANYONE to actually read it, but just the sheer volume of it is daunting, and the idea is to let the Client know that we are not just putting a sign in their yard when we take a listing. Many of these are not just tasks, but legal resposibilities for which we are liable. If you are mailing it to a Seller or using it in a Listing Presentation, there is a sample of the Cover Letter that I use at the end of this post.
This list was compiled prior to the advent of Short Sales and pre-Foreclosures and eContracts, and while I continue to tweek it, there could very easily be a LONG list of additional items.  If you have the fortitude to actually READ it, PLEASE feel free to add more items in the Comment section, and I will, in turn, add those to this list ... more
