(Warminster, PA)– Realtors® are experts on all things related to homebuying and selling, and they’re committed to helping consumers navigate the most complex and consequential transaction many people will ever make. Whether you’re buying or selling a home, a Realtor® will help guide you every step of the way.

“Realtors® are more than just real estate agents,” said Bucks County Association of Realtor® President Stephanie Garomon. “As members of the National Association of Realtors®, we subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics and are dedicated to helping consumers build wealth and stay protected. We advise as experts and lead as entrepreneurs, all while supporting our local communities.”

Roughly 9 in 10 buyers have reported working with a real estate agent who has helped them negotiate the best price and terms, and 91% have considered their agent to be a useful source of information. Agents and Realtors® are also skilled at selling homes. Without a Realtor®, For Sale By Owner homes sell for about 26% less than agented properties.

Homebuying and selling is more than just looking at listings, putting a sign in your yard and signing papers. Realtors® wear many different hats throughout each transaction. They help clients understand financing options, arrange home tours, conduct home and market research, negotiate terms, navigate state and federal forms, coordinate with other home service professionals, decipher public property and tax information and more – all while representing their clients’ best interests and guiding them along the way.

“Realtors® go above and beyond,” Garomon added. “We’re committed to serving our clients and our communities, and we advocate for fair housing and homeownership for everyone. We’re more than real estate agents – we’re experts, professionals and lifelong, trusted advisors.”
