For many people wanting to buy or sell a San Diego home, partnering with a seasoned real estate professional is a no-brainer. However, some may wonder if they can handle the process alone. A good frame of reference is, if you were involved in legal issues, would you attempt to navigate the court system and defend yourself alone? Or, would you prefer to trust an attorney to effectively represent you and handle all the complexities of your case? In short, a REALTOR is to the real estate process as an attorney is to the legal process. Both are experts with the sole purpose of representing clients by managing third-party communications, paperwork, legalities and more, all to reach the best possible outcome.

​

Another key fact to understand is: all REALTORS are real estate agents, but not all real estate agents are REALTORS. A REALTOR is a licensed real estate agent who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS (NAR), plus other state and local associations. More importantly, REALTORS are held to higher ethical standards and have access to specialty training programs and resources, such as the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
