All real estates licensees are not the same. Only real estate licensees who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS are properly called REALTORS.  As such, they are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly and by subscribing to a strict Code of Ethics 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 buyers would use the same REALTOR again.

When facing an income tax problem or a legal situation, we defer to the services of a CPA or an attorney to provide us with professional services.  Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime and, therefore, it is wise to consider the professional assistance of a REALTOR in any real estate transaction. Your REALTOR will help you determine your buying power through your financial reserves and borrowing capacity.  Your REALTOR has many resources to assist you in your home search as a buyer through broker interaction and the use of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and acts as the marketing coordinator for the seller, disbursing information about your property.  In many markets across the country, over 50% of real estate sales are cooperative sales, meaning a real estate agent other than yours brings in the buyer.  Your REALTOR will help you negotiate, will provide due diligence during the evaluation of the property and will guide you through the closing process to make sure everything flows together smoothly for you.  In short, your REALTOR is a professional who will assist you to a successful experience in the buying or selling of a home. At Bray & Co. Real Estate, all Broker Associates belong to the local, state and national associations for REALTORS and are proud to carry the designation of REALTOR
