Whether buying or selling a home, a good place to start is a local REALTOR. Before beginning the search, understand that while all REALTORS are real estate licensees, not all licensees are REALTORS. REALTORS are members of the National Orgainization of REALTORS adhere to the REALTOR Code of Ethics.
If purchasing a home, a REALTOR arranges showings and searches the MLS, or multiple listing service, for their buyers. REALTORS also walk the buyer through the offering process, inspection and repair negotiations, as well as closing day.
An agent representing the seller has a different role; the role of marketer. The job of the agent is to list and market a property that it sells as quickly as possible for the best attainable price. The agent will also help with the process of responding to offers, and the same negotiations as a buyer's agent as well as lead the seller through closing.
