What Does a Realtor Do?

Realtors are required by law to:

• perform necessary and customary acts to assist in the purchase or sale of real estate.
• perform these acts in good faith and with reasonable care.
• properly account for money or other property placed in his or her care.
• disclose “adverse material facts” which are, or should be, within the agent’s knowledge.

Realtors in {Location_Name} can help buyers pre-qualify for mortgages and keep abreast of the latest home listings. They can assist sellers in preparing their homes and screening potential buyers. They can show investors the properties that fit their risk profiles and long-term investment strategies. Nesbitt Realty can quickly locate the most suitable home for you. Our agents can efficiently organize and coordinate meetings with potential buyers and sellers. A Nesbitt Realty Realtor will be well acquainted with the important things you'll want to know about the neighborhood you may be considering:

In {Location_Name} who sets the price?

Agents at Nesbitt Realty understand that no matter what you've been told Realtors in {Location_Name} really have no control at all over the real estate market, only the plan behind marketing. Our Realtors never determine the asking price - the seller does. We can provide Realtor advice, but the seller makes the final decision. This not only applies to the list (asking) price, but it especially applies to the selling price. By the same token, we cannot control the offer price.  We can only present the offers that are actually made.  None-the-less, if the seller does things right and takes each step by step, together we’ll set a listing price in the right area and have no problems selling your property.

Setting a rental budget

For many renters the most important consideration is how much they are willing to spend on a rental per month. For this reason it should come as no surprise that the first step in the rental process should include establishing a budget. Renters should consider their monthly income and subtract out all of their monthly expenses from this amount. Monthly expenses should include all bills which are paid regularly as well as money spent on food, entertainment and miscellaneous items each month. The renter may also wish to subtract out an additional amount to allow for some savings each month as well as emergencies. The total left after these subtractions is the amount the renter is able to spend on an rental per month. Once this amount is established the renter will have a better understanding of the type of rental they are able to afford. When you know you budget and you're ready to shop for a new home, contact an agent.  Rental agents cost the renter nothing and they don't work for one specific building. A rental agent can see all the rentals that are available to make sure that you get the best value for your money. [Learn more]
