What Does A Realtor Do Anyway?

By Kerry Mitchell

Find out why, at the end of the day, your Realtor© works for $3.00 an hour.  Realtor© must go through extensive training to get their license. Hundreds of hours and tests along the way help to carve their niche in the complex world of real estate. The huge number of texts and phone calls that they initiate as well as reply to, can accumulate to over 1,000 per week per client. We will explore in depth on what a realtor does in each part of a transaction. Not only do they prepare paperwork and contracts they act as an intermediary in the negotiation processes. Realtors© develop a keen understanding in relaying information on market conditions, current property values and have daily communication with mortgages and title companies.
