• Valuable advice. As real estate professionals it is our job to offer an objective and educated opinion about the fair market value of your home. Your Realtor can assess your sense of urgency, and select an asking price that will be able to get maximum value under your circumstances. Your realtor can also advise you of ways to improve your home's saleability.
   
• Exposure on MLS websites. Many Internet-savvy Buyers rely on the vast database of the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) websites at www.ottawarealestate.org and www.mls.ca to research homes for sale. With an MLS listing, your home won't be missed by the Buyers who make it a routine to check in regularly on both of these websites.
   
• An MLS listing also offers you access to Ottawa’s entire Realtor network and all the Buyers who rely solely on their agent to tell them about properties.
   
• Your Realtor can offer you professional marketing in well-known publications geared specifically toward Ottawa area home Buyers. With eye-catching photos of your home, our marketing of your property has far more to offer than classified word ads.
   
• Your Realtor offers you the convenience of all the work being done for you, designing brochures, promoting your home on the Internet, putting up a FOR SALE sign, advertising in publications, and continuing to promote your home on an ongoing basis. Your Realtor is also available to answer inquiries about your property at any time, in a professional manner, and to show your property to potential Buyers, regardless of your schedule.
   
• You don't pay for the extras. We don't charge for FOR SALE signs, photos, brochures, advertising, or Internet exposure, and there is no cost to re-market your home if you reduce the price or extend your listing.
   
• Your Realtor offers Buyers a sense of anonymity when viewing your home, as many Buyers are uncomfortable viewing a home with the Seller present. Your Realtor will also be able to offer you honest, constructive feedback from Buyers.
   
• Your Realtor is dedicated to representing your interests throughout the Offer process. We can advise you as to what changes should be made to an offer to meet your best interests. If the Buyer of your home could be represented by an experienced Realtor, wouldn't you rather take advantage of the same representation?
   
• You, and any potential Buyers will know that you are dealing with a company you can trust. Your Realtor is bound by a Code of Ethics, and must provide the highest level of service, honesty and integrity.

Are you really saving money by avoiding a Realtor's commission? Not necessarily, when you take into consideration all of the services we offer.

And working with a Realtor is risk-free because if your home doesn't sell, we don't get paid!
