Why Use a REALTOR?Buying, selling or leasing a

home or other property is likely

to be one of the most impor-

tant financial decisions you will

make. That's why it makes

sense to have a trained,

knowledgeable professional

on your side who can give you

expert guidance throughout

the real estate transaction.

The value a REALTOR brings

to your next real estate trans-

action cannot be underesti-

mated. In addition to access to

the Multiple Listing Service®

(MLS®) that ensures proper-

ties for sale or lease receive

the widest exposure possible,

REALTORS can help take the

stress out of buying, selling or

leasing. This means you have

more time to devote to other

important matters. REAL-

TORS are skilled negotiators

who can qualify potential buy-

ers and draw up enforceable

contracts. Your REALTOR

knows your neighbourhood --

REALTORS assess market

conditions and property values

daily and have access to de-

tailed market resources. Your

REALTOR also has been edu-

cated on the complex laws and

regulations affecting real es-

tate and can give you valuable

advice to help ensure your in-

terests are protected.
