ROLE OF THE REALTOR® A REALTOR® is a licensed real estate broker or agent who has taken additional steps to become a member of the local Association of REALTORS® and has agreed to act under and adhere to a strict Code of Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS®. A REALTOR®, whether acting as an agent for the Seller or the Buyer, is bound by the Code of Ethics to give fair and honest treatment to all parties in the transaction. Some of the services you should expect from a REALTOR® include: A complete understanding of the type of property that will best meet your needs and wants.
Assisting in determining what you can afford to purchase for property.
Researching the market for suitable properties.
Showing properties and soliciting your feedback.
Preparing the Offer to Purchase contract.
Interacting with other REALTORS®, lending institutions, inspection companies, and attorneys throughout the transaction.
When selecting a REALTOR®, some of the qualities you should consider are the REALTOR's® knowledge, perseverance, enthusiasm, his or her ability to keep you informed on a regular basis, and the reputation of the office and its cooperation with outside agents. Another important consideration is the emphasis both the agent and the office place on training and continuing education. The goal of the REALTOR® and the buyer is to find a property which meets the buyer's needs, within his/her budget and time frame and bring the sale to closing in a timely fashion. There are four ways that you, the buyer, can greatly assist in this effort: Be loyal to one REALTOR®. Select a REALTOR® you feel comfortable with and direct all inquiries to that person. Once assured of the loyalty of the buyer, a REALTOR® will spend considerable time, effort, and energy to see that buyer happily relocated.
Give the REALTOR® as much information as possible about the type of property desired, the urgency of relocation, and details on your wish list or other information, which will affect your ability to qualify for a mortgage.
Let your REALTOR® who is a member of a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) investigate all ads. It is not necessary to call each office to see its listings. Your REALTOR® has the same information and can obtain prompt assistance from a fellow REALTOR®.
Be frank with your REALTOR® about price range and your reaction to each property to avoid confusing the picture and making your search for the right home difficult.This site provides information about Mashpee, New Seabury, and Popponesset Real Estate for sale or for rent on Cape Cod, also properties for sale or rent in Bourne, Falmouth, Woods Hole, Sandwich, Cotuit, Marstons Mills, Osterville, Centerville, Hyannis, Hyannisport, Barnstable and all areas of Cape Cod, and the South Shore of Massachusetts.
