Seller Resources

There are countless decisions to be made when selling a home, and many of them will significantly affect
whether or not you make a profit and how much time it takes to sell your home. A real estate agent can
offer specialized knowledge in research, marketing and negotiations to help you meet or exceed your
goals. According to the National Association of REALTORS®, 82 percent of home sales are the result of
agent connections.
A real estate agent will:
- Serve as your advocate and representative when dealing with buyers, buyers’ agents and service
providers.
- Help you establish a fair asking price that also meets your goals.
- Advise you on how to present your home aesthetically to maximize its appeal to buyers.
- Design a customized marketing plan that will promote your home 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. Tactics can include the MLS, direct mail campaigns, fliers, yard signs, advertising, Internet
listings and open houses.
- Schedule and host open houses and home tours.
- Screen all written offers and discuss
their advantages and disadvantages.
- Assist you in making counteroffers.
- Prepare your closing documents.
- Represent you at closing and
mediate any last-minute obstacles
to ensure a smooth, successful
transaction.
- Provide referrals to proven service
providers, including title companies,
inspectors, appraisers, pest control,
moving companies and more.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Real estate professionals can represent the seller, the buyer or both. When agents represent both parties, it is
called dual agency. In some states, dual agency affects the real estate professional’s fiduciary responsibilities to the seller. Keep in mind
that real estate laws differ from state to state and even from locale to locale. For more in-depth answers, we would be happy to review
your options in the state of Minnesota and the consequences of each in a no-pressure consultation.
