Step 1: Choosing a REALTOR®

Selling a home is one of the largest decisions of your life. The first thing to do is to find a Texas REALTOR® you trust.

Ask your friends and relatives who have sold homes recently for their recommendations. Or, you can use the find-a-REALTOR® search to locate one in your area.

Before working with a Texas REALTOR®, you should know that their duties depend on whom the they represent.

The REALTOR® who lists the property for sale represents the owner. Your REALTOR®'s sole duty is to ensure that your home sells quickly, easily, and at a suitable price.

All brokers must treat you honestly and fairly regardless of whom they represent.

If you choose to have a REALTOR® represent you, you should enter into a written contract that clearly establishes the obligation of both parties and specifies how your REALTOR® will be compensated.
