Realtors will not becoming an endangered species because of all the price data available on the Internet. Price is only one factor in buying or selling your home, and getting to the settlement table means marketing, negoiating, avoiding problems & traps, and overcoming obstacles.

A top agent will be experienced at:

* getting your home in front of the right buyers
* making sure qualified buyers come through your home
* negotiating the terms of your contract
* working with home inspectors
* meeting and dealing with appraisers
* working with title insurance companies
* solving problem about closings
*making sure you are protected from start to finish

Making sure the transaction actually comes to a closing.

Buying or selling a home is an emotionally-charged transaction. Now more than ever it pays to have an experienced professional on your side. Embrace the benefits of new technology, but don’t fall into the trap of believing it will replace market knowledge and personal service.

The end of Realtors? If a successful transaction is your goal it won’t happen any time soon.
