Why choose A Virtual Properties Realtor®
All real estate licensees are not the same. Only real estate licensees who are members of the National Association of Realtors® are properly called Realtors®. Realtors® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. An independent survey reports that 84% of home buyers would use the same Realtor® again.
But if you’re still not convinced of the value of a Virtual Properties Realtor® here are a dozen more reasons to use a REALTOR® from Virtual Properties Realty:
1. All Virtual Properties listings on Realtor.com have a flashing VPR logo linking buyers to the VPR website where the listing agent and more listing detail can be easily found. This ensures that any inquiries about a listing will be responded to (by the listing agent) in a timely manner. Realtor.com is the #1 real estate search engine in the country with over 500% more listing exposure then any other real estate web site in the country. More consumers then ever (over 85%) are now using the internet when searching to buy real estate.
2. All VPR listings will be seen on multiple websites some of which include:
3. All VPR online listings include detailed information and pictures including neighborhood and school information.
4. All VPR online listings include multiple ways for buyers to contact the VPR listing agent directly for a showing or to obtain more information.
5. VPR Realtors® have the knowledge and the experience needed to help buyers understand the different financing options available. Realtors® can also help the buyer to identify qualified lenders and to reassure the sellers that a buyer is qualified.
6. VPR Realtors® have many resources to assist buyers in their home search. Sometimes the property a buyer is seeking is available but not actively advertised in the market place and will take some investigation by the VPR REALTOR to find all available properties.
7. VPR Realtors® can assist in the buyer’s selection process by providing objective information. VPR REALTORS have access to a variety of information which helps determine property value.
8. VPR Realtors® can really help with the negotiations. There are many negotiating factors, including but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession and often the inclusion or exclusion of repairs and furnishings or equipment. The purchase agreement should provide a period of time for the buyer to complete appropriate inspections and investigations of the property before the buyer is bound to complete the sale. You VPR REALTOR can advise buyers as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or required.
9. VPR Realtors® can guide everyone through the closing process and make sure everything flows smoothly. VPR Realtors® have the best marketing tools available to help buyers quickly sell at the best price with minimum hassle. Often, recommendations are made for repairs and cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the value of a property.
10. VPR Realtors® know where, when, and how to advertise a property. 82% of real estate sales (according to the national association of realtors) are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, family, and personal contacts. When your property is listed with a Realtor® you do not have to allow strangers into your home. A Realtor® will generally prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through the listing.
11. VPR Listing Realtors® can help sellers objectively evaluate every buyer’s proposal without compromising the sellers marketing position. The initial agreement is only the beginning of a process of due-diligence, appraisals, inspections and financing – a lot of possible pitfalls. REALTORS are very good at writing legally binding, win-win agreements that will more likely make it through to closing.
12. VPR Realtors® can help buyers and sellers close the deal. Between the initial sales agreement and closing many questions may arise. For example, a cloud on the title or unexpected repairs that need to be fixed before the lender will make the loan. Realtors® are the best equipped to help buyers and sellers resolve these and other issues before a property can close.
