Why REALTORS?

To buy or sell a home, you require the services of several different people and organizations. Your Realtor is the person who pulls them all together. Besides marketing and showing homes, your Realtor makes sure everyone else gets their part done at the right time and place for you. There is actually more work to be done after you get a home under contract than while people are just looking. 

For Home Sellers

As a SELLER, you will normally have dozens of REALTORS and prospective BUYERS touring your home, all arranged and coordinated by your own Realtor.  COOPER REALTORS, together with PHOTOGRAPHERS, PRINTERS and ADVERTISERS will produce carefully designed marketing materials to emphasize the important, attractive features that Buyers need to know about your home.

COOPER REALTORS subscribes to the premier Professional MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICES through which we present your special property TO BUYERS WORLDWIDE and to the Realtors who bring buyers to your home.

Once we have negotiated a contract with a Buyer, you may need REPAIRMEN to handle items noted by the Buyer's inspectors. Paperwork will be obtained from your MORTGAGE HOLDER to pay off your current loan at closing. The Buyer's lender will send out an APPRAISER to look over the property and assess the reasonable value as a protection for the lender. The TITLE COMPANY will hold the Buyer's earnest money, provide title insurance, and usually conduct the closing.

Besides knowing how to find the enthusiastic Buyers for your home, your Realtor takes you through the entire selling and closing process, resolves the unexpected problems that come up along the way, and minimizes the inconveniences to you.

Ethics & the Public Interest

In Texas all real estate Brokers and Salesmen must be properly educated, and they must be tested and licensed by the Texas Real Estate Commission. "Brokers" are responsible for listings and transactions, and "salesmen" or "sales associates" work under brokers, usually as independent contractors.

"REALTOR" is a registered collective membership mark which may be used only by real estate professionals who are members of the National Association of Realtors and subscribe to its strict Code of Ethics. The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to protect the public. Being a Realtor is a voluntary responsibility. However, it is required in order to participate in the National and Austin Multiple Listing Services.
