internet, by text and especially these days on social media. Usually they don’t want to sell


but are just wondering what their property is worth. While I understand the concept


that Realtors know the price of some- ones property just off the top of their heads the opposite is true. Our market changes constantly. In order to give an accurate opinion of value it will take a professional Realtor hours to derive the best price for your home. When you ask a Realtor for a

the majority of us fail to appreciate the time spent by someone in becoming an expert, an authority, a more educated or licensed professional in many careers. In my own profession I have people


ask me all the time to tell them what their home is worth, outside of business rela- tionships. It could be at a party, over the


price over the phone or on Facebook you are asking them to put them- selves in a position of liability and asking for them to give to you, for free, the expertise of their years of experience, the dozens of books they’ve read on their profession, the thousands of hours they’ve spent per- fecting their research skills, the money they’ve paid out to experts they have studied under and seminars they have attended, various training certifications, degrees, conferences

and continual education. The years they’ve spent in practical application, and the work they have put into mar- keting, video’s, office rental, staff salaries, phone systems, even just the gasoline costs driving clients around. The majority of us have years spent practicing our drafting of contract skills, negotiating skills and our ad- hering to our legal principals and li- cencing bodies. I had someone just recently contact


me through private messaging on Facebook. I don’t know this person but they thought nothing of describ- ing their property in depth, including outbuildings, work they have done, size of property... you get the pic- ture... qualified they weren’t selling, just wanting to know what their home was worth so they could plan for the future. Imagine if I private messaged one of our cities top lawyers , tell him all about some complicated legal issue I was having, describing it in detail and then asking for his legal opinion on my case, for free, over


Facebook. Realtors are professionals. We


are licensed, hardworking and de- serve to be paid for our skills. We are people with families and have worked long and hard to become good at our jobs. We are marketing experts, have legal knowledge of the contracts, we prepare to sell homes, offer long hour service to our clients and are accountable to our licensing body. We are risk takers in the sense that we list your homes, promote them all at our own expense and bring our experience to the table in hopes to earn a commission. Not all listings sell and the work we do on those is the same as the ones we do earn a commission for. Last week I sold two Private for


Sale properties and charged each seller a commission which they paid. They’d had no luck in either situation with selling their homes on their own in a market where things were selling overnight. Most of the Buyers I deal with


want the sureness and expertise of a licensed person who has access to other sales, property values and con- tract skills to work for them in find- ing a home, or if selling, making sure their home is priced properly, staged properly and accessible for viewing with an unbiased third party person involved.
