Choosing a Real Estate Agent

More than 2 million people in the United States have earned real estate licenses. However, real estate is a tough business with a steep dropout rate, and the result is that only a small percentage of those with licenses actively help buyers and sellers. Buying and selling real estate is a complex matter. At first it might seem that by checking local real estate publications or online sites you could quickly find the right home at the right price, but just like people not all properties are alike. No two properties -- even two identical models on the same street -- are precisely and exactly alike. Homes differ and so do contract terms, financing options, inspection requirements and closing costs. Also, no two transactions are alike. In this maze of forms, financing, inspections, marketing, pricing and negotiating, it makes sense to work with Franklin Realty Consultants, we know the community and our entire staff is completely trained and active in the real estate business.

How do you choose?

In our community you're going to find a number of realty brokerages. Because there is heated competition, local real estate agents must fight hard to succeed in your community. Our agents at Franklin Realty Consultants are consistently selling and closing deals within the top 10 % of agents nationwide. Once you select us as your real estate company we will establish a proper business relationship. Your real estate agent will explain the options available, describe how he or she typically works with individuals and provide you with complete agency disclosures (the ins and outs of your relationship with the agent) as required by the state. We will always provide you with information detailing current market conditions, financing options and negotiating issues that might apply to a given situation. Remember: Because market conditions can change and the strategies that apply in one negotiation may be inappropriate in another, this information should not be set in stone. During your time in the marketplace we will keep you updated and alert you to each step in the transaction process.
