4 reasons our Realtor friends will always be on our Nice List
By Birthright Title
As the holidays arrive in Middle Tennessee, there’s no better time to recognize the professionals who make homeownership possible. Today, we’re celebrating our Realtor friends who help Birthright Title guide clients home.
Why? Recent statistics show that more buyers and sellers are using Realtors than ever – even as the value of an agent’s role in the transaction is being questioned. Consider these stats from the NAR for the last year.
- 91% of sellers used an agent – equal to the highest percentage on record.
- 88% of all home buyers used an agent or broker
- 91% of buyers would use their agent again or recommend them to others
They know our communities better than anyone. Real estate thrives on relationships, and a seasoned Realtor knows the people, neighborhoods and the pulse of the market. Whether it’s advice on schools, new projects, or off-market hidden gems, their local insight can make the difference. A great Realtor doesn’t just help you buy or sell—they help you find your place in the community.
Their expertise helps reduce stress. Both the holidays and homebuying/selling can feel overwhelming, but a caring agent can help smooth out the journey any time of year. From pricing strategy to offer negotiations to navigating inspections, a Realtor is your advocate through every step. Wisdom may not be something that can appear under the tree, but a good Realtor brings plenty of it to your transaction.
They have extra search power. Public real estate sites are helpful, but they don’t show everything. Realtors have access to in-depth listing information, agent-to-agent networks and early notice of properties coming soon. Many of the best opportunities are shared through relationships long before they hit the open market. When you work with a great agent, you gain access to more options and better information.
They care about those around them. Ask anyone who has worked with a dedicated Realtor, and you’ll hear about how they went above and beyond (It’s why the good ones get referrals and repeat business). But that’s not what they do. The best Realtors love to help families start new chapters, support the local economy and strengthen the neighborhoods they serve, just like we do!
Good real estate professionals make the journey smoother for everyone.
Behind every successful closing is a team effort, and Realtors are at the heart of it all. They coordinate communication, prepare buyers and sellers for each step and ensure all parties stay aligned. Their professionalism keeps transactions on track and keeps surprises to a minimum. In a busy season like this one, that kind of steady guidance is a gift.
Whether you’re a Realtor or the buyers/sellers themselves, who you choose as your title and closing company matters! Just call us Rudolph, because Birthright Title would love to guide your deal tonight – or any other time you need us. Contact us anytime, and be sure to spread lots of joy and holiday spirit this wonderful season.
