You know that a Realtor® works in the Real Estate industry helping people buy or sell property, but what does that actually mean?  What exactly is a Realtor® and what does a Realtor® really do?!

A Realtor® is an industry professional who is up to date on all of the latest market trends related to their target Real Estate area. This encompasses everything from buying, selling, investing, and even renting a property (The Meaning of a Realtor)

A little known fact is that when you hire a Realtor®, you are actually hiring their brokerage/firm.  The Realtor® then acts as your personal representative of that particular brokerage. This means that when you hire a Realtor®, you are also gaining the full backing, protection, and resources of that Realtor®’s firm.

Realtors are specially educated in contract law making complex legal documents a breeze, and they possess more valuable insight on topics like post renovation resale value.  A savvy Realtor® makes their professional network as expansive as possible to best assist you in getting as close to your goal as possible. These networks include everyone from mortgage brokers, lawyers, inspectors, and even tradespeople.

Not only does a Realtor® help you put together measurable and attainable real estate goals, we come up with your unique action plan that is best suited to you and your needs. We then get that plan rolling by managing every step of the process. We focus on keeping up to date on changing consumer behaviour trends and average sale prices by property style, size, and neighbourhood, all while educating you along the way. Lastly, We negotiate on your behalf to ensure you are protected while providing insights and advice so you feel confident in your decision (The GC Experience)

The reaaaally good Realtors will make sure you have some fun along the way too, ultimately providing a stress free and hopefully enjoyable experience!

Like I always say, anyone can put a sign on your lawn but when you hire a trusted Realtor® you are hiring a specialized project manager who streamlines the entire process for you so that you can sit back and enjoy the journey.

Now all you have to do is pick the Realtor® that’s right for you!
