It may seem that Realtors want all the power, but consider this. You are a home seller. Everyone who wants access to your information can get it. They are not screened, they can come to your door at any hour of the day or night. All of a sudden, selling your home becomes a nightmare.
Access to the MLS is given to Realtors who are registered and follow a code of ethics. We follow a procedure to gain access to a home. We respect the privacy of the seller. Realtors also do a pre-screening of buyers. Most of the time Realtors try to bring only true buyers to a home.
Open houses are the way that Realtors make available to the public homes that are for sale. Look at local websites for open house announcements. Go on sites such as Realtor.com to view properties and then contact a Realtor to help you gain access. It gives sellers a confidence that they are safe in opening their home to others.
The home buying process is difficult in the best of circumstances. it is emotional to both buy and sell a home. Having a Realtor mediate a sale is both smart and economical. Realtors will negotiate hard for their clients and, in most cases, a fair price and smooth transaction transpires.
