Hammonds Plains, NS Real Estate News

There has been so much written lately regarding the exclusivity of the MLS system that I think the services of a REALTOR® has been lost.  What's missing?  To name but a few: Objectivity: Representing a party objectively and in the best interest of that party is extremely valuable.  Selling a house every 5-10 years does not an expert make.  Homeowners are too emotionally attached to their homes to be objective and see their homes as a product to marketed to other target markets. Online Marketing Expertise: I like to believe that I offer far more than just the ability to list a property on just one real estate site.  In fact, I post a listing on over 300 real estate sites.  I agree that MLS is a valuable tool, always has been, always will.  However, the days of just relying on one site ar...
