Sample list of REALTOR® services
Whether you create one for yourself or for your clients, a list of services you provide can be a valuable tool. And if you don't know what it is you actually do to serve your clients, don't be surprised if you are not serving them for long. This list includes many services brokers and agents perform for their clients. Not all REALTORS® do all the activities on this list (and some certainly perform many services not included here), but you can use it as an idea generator for creating your list.
