Are you Still Using a Realtor? Selling Without a Realtor

It is 2009, the Internet is in Full Swing, over 90% Real Estate Buyers are looking for Real Estate Online. Realtors are not giving you targeted internet marketing they are giving you the MLS and Realtor.com , this is in the best interest of the Realtor and the National Association of Realtors. You see if they can get you and your buyers to their website, they can sell them other stuff. Be it houses, mortgages, insurance, lawn chairs, books, furniture, investment companies, you name it. So getting your signature on the Line of the Listing means a whole lot more then just the Listing or the Commission your Local Realtor Gets.

Realtors pay dues to their Franchise (which offers NOTHING to protect you). Realtors pay dues to the National Association of Realtors, Realtors also pays NAR for supposed accreditations that means nothing to the real estate consumer. Realtors pay NAR to be on Realtor.com and to subscribe to all the Techno Gimiks the National Association of Realtors is selling this week. YOU, the Real Estate consumer end up really paying for all this.

So your Real Estate Listing means a whole lot to a whole lot of people, your listing is supporting much more then just the Commission to your Realtor and that Money is Yours. Oftentimes people are talked down to, treated bad and pushed around by their Realtor at the same time as they are Giving them their Hard earned Equity.

The National Association of Realtors keeps up the Image, the Ads, the New Billboards to Ensure that you think you need them and that you think by using a Realtor that you are somehow more protected in your real estate transaction, but this is not true. It is Propaganda and a Flat Out Lie.

With the Power of the Internet you Do NOT need a Realtor to Sell your Real Estate. Don’t Be afraid, we don’t do anything really anyway. The title company closes the deal, their attorney looks it over. With or without a Realtor you need to make sure that you are protected in your real estate transaction. You need to look at all paperwork, make sure you understand and change the things in your paperwork that you don’t like, you are a party to the contract and can change anything. No one can protect you as well as you can.

Realtor Forms are geared toward protecting the Realtor, don’t sign them unless you fill in every blank, change what you don’t like or don’t understand. You can close a “Deal” with a sentence or two on a napkin. The title company closes some pretty SHOCKING stuff. Why the Realtors have all those pages is to Protect them and NOT to protect you so Don’t Use a Realtor, Sell without a Realtor.
