Public Awareness Campaign: Don't Try This at Home
fsbo Sellers who use a real estate professional make 16 percent more on the sale of their home than do sellers who go it alone. Unrepresented sellers often do not understand the complexity, range and timing of tasks they will have to perform if they don’t use a professional.

REALTORS® are real estate professionals who are experts in marketing and negotiation. REALTORS® can help a seller set a realistic price and ensure the proper paperwork and various disclosures and inspections are handled correctly. REALTORS® know best how to prepare a home and maximize value, provide broader exposure to the market and are more likely to generate multiple bids than a seller on their own.

In addition, REALTORS® are experts in attracting qualified buyers. A professional can show a home more objectively than can a seller who may be emotionally attached to the home, and who might become unnerved by prospective buyers’ critical comments. The real estate pro also checks the financial capability and bona fides of buyers before allowing them onto a seller’s property.

Use these materials to convince would-be for-sale-by-owners (FSBOs) of the value of hiring a REALTOR®.

Customize Materials
The online ad generator allows local and state associations to customize standard-size print and outdoor ads by adding information such as the association’s name, phone number, and Web site address. You will be able to preview your customized ad online. After you approve the preview, you can then generate a high-resolution PDF suitable for insertion into a publication. Due to large file sizes for bus shelters and billboards, you will be contacted to make arrangements for delivery of high-resolution artwork for these outdoor layouts after you submit your customizable information.

As established by the campaign guidelines, INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS CANNOT CUSTOMIZE PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN MATERIALS TO PLACE AS ADVERTISING.
