For Buyers

You may wonder why you need to work with a REALTOR®. First, you should know that not all licensed real estate agents are REALTORS®. REALTORS® are members of the National Association of REALTORS® and must abide by a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice enforced by the NAR. A REALTOR® brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the business of buying a home and can save you time and money because she/he has access to all homes listed on the Multiple Listing Service, not just her/his own listings. REALTORS® are expert negotiators, seasoned financial advisers and superb navigators around the local neighborhood. And the best thing is, using a REALTOR® generally does not cost the buyer anything -- typically, the seller pays all REALTOR® fees involved in the transaction. A professional REALTOR® is your best resource when planning to buy a home.

Why choose 45th Parallel Realty? Although all REALTORS® must abide by the higher standards set by NAR, not all REALTORS® have the same training.
