Practitioner Value
The role of real estate practitioners in home sale transactions continues to strengthen, according to the 2005 NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers released in late January. Even with the rise of the Internet in home searches the share of buyers working with practitioners continues to be strong, standing at 90 percent of buyers.
At the same time, the share of FSBO's continues to drop, standing at 13 percent of sellers, down from 14 percent in the 2004 profile. The profile is based on almost 8,000 responses from a surevey of households who bought a home between August 2004 and July 2005.
