How Do REALTORS Work?

I am a licensed REALTOR and belong to the Austin Board of REALTORS. Belonging to the Austin Board gives me access to the multiple listing service (MLS). This service gives me access to all the homes in Austin and surrounding areas listed by any other real estate agent. The MLS is the most up-to-date and accurate computer listing for home sales. The internet IS NOT the most up-to-date compilation of homes for sale. It IS a great educational tool for prospective buyers to get an idea of what is out there for sale and their prices. Unfortunately, for buyers, the internet is a step behind the MLS- new properties for sale show up on the internet almost immediately, however, homes that are no longer available (contract pending or sold) sometimes take days or weeks to update!! For the prospective buyer it can be very discouraging to get excited about a property that is no longer available. Therefore, a REALTOR with access to the MLS has the most up-to-date AND accurate information concerning properties you, the buyer, may want to investigate and ultimately purchase.

If you are a potential buyer, it is in your best interest to have a REALTOR represent you. Even if you are purchasing a new home with a builder- you may have a REALTOR represent you. The house costs the same with or without one- so have a REALTOR help every step of the way!!

Most people will buy and sell three or four times in a lifetime. Use the expertise of a REALTOR whether you are buying or selling. As you can see by the homes I have shown here- I help buyers and sellers. A large portion of my listing business comes from my previous clients- they are now selling their present homes and “moving up” to the next one.

Whether you are a first time or an experienced buyer, I would like to help you. Please give me a call. “I have time for you!!”
