What are the roles of a realtor? The roles of a realtor may be classified into two; the basic and the advanced and these roles may depend on the transaction that he or she will mediate; the buyer’s side or the seller’s side.
The most basic role of a realtor is to represent the best interest of his client in a real estate transaction working off for a commission. In most cases, the commission realtor’s get is 6% of the price of the property and usually, this commission is divided between the realtor on the buyer’s side and the realtor on the seller’s side.
The advanced roles of a realtor depend on which side he or she represents. If the realtor is representing the buyer, his roles include determining buying power, search agent, community and environment evaluation, giving contract negotiation advice, property inspection and title status assistance, understanding financing and giving closing guidance. If the realtor is representing the seller’s side, his roles include selling market advice, increase chances of sale, advertising, evaluation of buyer and giving closing guidance.
