Selling Your Home With a REALTOR®

Choosing Your REALTOR®

While the process of selling your home is more complicated than you might think, the solution is simple: by choosing to work with a Fort McMurray area REALTOR®, you will have access to a professional who understands the process. With a REALTOR® by your side, it is likely your home will spend less time on the market (sell faster) and that you will get a better price for it than you would if you were selling on your own. You can start by searching our database of Fort McMurray area REALTORS® right here on this website.

The Listing Agreement

The listing agreement is a contract that involves the seller and the agent’s brokerage company. It is meant to accurately reflect your property details and to spell out all the rights and obligations of all parties.

By signing into a listing agreement, the seller appoints the brokerage company to help them in finding a home buyer to purchase their home. Elements of the contract may include:

• The agreement’s duration
• Compensation for the REALTORS® involved (both the seller's agent and buyer's agent)
• The agreed upon listing price and property description
• Financial details

It is always beneficial to go over all details with your REALTOR® prior to signing.

Setting The Right Price

Selling your property starts with setting the correct price. Through a careful examination of recent real estate sales data and an intuitive understanding of market conditions your REALTOR® will help in determining the right price for your property. Setting the right price will save you both time and money.

Marketing Your Property

There are many ways that your REALTOR® may choose to market your home, including placing it on the Fort McMurray REALTORS® Associations MLS® System. Talk to the agent you hire to discuss their marketing strategy for your home.
