New Realtors Ad

The Realtors are out with a new TV advertisement telling people to use a Realtor when selling their home.



As spring approaches, home buyers’ and sellers’ thoughts turn to the real estate market. Today, with the premiere of television advertising spots titled, “Don’t Try This at Home,” the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® encourages home sellers to protect what could be their largest investment by enlisting the help of a professional.

“Selling a home is like climbing Mount Everest,” said Thomas M. Stevens, NAR president and senior vice president of NRT Inc., from Vienna, Va. “If you don’t prepare correctly, you’ll never achieve your goal. Getting a signed contract is like reaching the peak, but that’s only half the journey. Many things can happen on the way back down the mountain. Savvy sellers know to hire a REALTOR® to protect their interests and guide them through.”

Home owners who try to sell their home without professional help must overcome a number of hurdles,


"Selling a home is like climbing Mount Everest" Really?

You missed the peak. Should have sold last summer in the bubble markets as one would have recieved a very high price. It is downhill from there for awhile.
