Selling Property? Yes, There Are Real Estate Agent Alternatives in Florida.
You've invested in your property for years and now it's time for a move. Maybe your family has grown bigger. Maybe the kids have left for college. You might be taking a job in another city or moving your business to an up-and-coming part of town. Whatever the reason, there is one major thing that you must accomplish before you begin packing: the real estate sale.
From the time you make your decision to sell until the last box is loaded on the moving van, there are hundreds — even thousands — of critical decisions that you and your family must make. One of the most important is who will sell the property.
But it's not just a decision between selling your home by yourself and hiring a realtor for the job. You have more options than you may think, and one of those options could save you thousands in realtor's fees, wasted time and lost value on the home.
Selling your home or commercial property is the biggest transaction you may ever handle. It's also one of the most personal. Before you hire a realtor, consider your options. Consider Lawyers Real Estate, P.A.
Our Melbourne, Florida, law firm is highly regulated by the state of Florida and bound by the strict professional and ethical codes to which all lawyers are subject. Under Florida law, ordinary realtors are only required to undergo 72 hours of classroom training. However, as lawyers, we have bachelors degrees and juris doctorates.
How Much Training Does My Realtor Have, Anyway?
In Florida, real estate associates need 63 hours of training and a high school diploma before taking the Real Estate Sales Associate Exam. Full-fledged real estate brokers need 72 classroom hours plus experience before their exams. Still, many homeowners turn over one of the most important transactions of their lives to these professionals. They don't ask the right questions and they don't realize that realtors don't need extensive training.
Lawyers undergo extensive training before becoming members of the bar. They are required to graduate from four-year colleges before entering law school. Law school itself is a notoriously rigorous three-year post-graduate degree, after which graduates are required to sit for the Florida bar exam. Like other bar exams, the Florida bar exam is one of the most difficult tests given in America.
