What Can Planet Realtor Do for You?
from:Real estate agents in Florida are terribly busy with the many aspects of their business. Realtors have a significant number of items to get done in order to sell a piece of real estate. Not only do they have to take care of property specific matters such as showing the home or land, drawing up papers, preparing the home or property to be shown, but they also must keep track of many contacts and minor tasks as well. There is a service available to realtors to make their hectic work life much simpler so that they might enjoy more of a personal life. Realtors often complain of working twelve hour days and not being able to spend more time with their families. That’s what Planet Realtor is for.
Members of the Florida Association of Realtors will benefit from the services of Planet Realtor in many ways. This service will provide forms ready to print for members. Realtors will not have to hunt or store their own forms because they can retrieve them directly from Planet Realtor. That’s only the beginning.
Planet Realtor has many features. Realtors can find tax rolls at their fingertips. This means that you will not have to hunt and peck to find the specific tax information about properties. Planet Realtor also has the MLS Advantage. This feature enables boards and members to access and share available MLS listings anywhere in Florida.
For the aspiring real estate agent, Planet Realtor will offer tips and guidance for finding the proper education prior to obtaining the real estate license. You can look up the licensing requirements or the ways to take online courses to obtain a license.
Realtors are given access to attorneys and legal advice through the services available at the Florida Association of Realtors also. You can use the Ask an Attorney feature to make inquiries regarding legal matters you may have. You can also stay up to date on all legal issues through the Hot Topics section of the FAR site. If you are not sure of the ethical concerns involving a piece of property or a deal you are working on, the FAR site has the realtor’s Code of Ethics available on their site.
Another service available through this site is a way to check to make sure that you are not going to be making sales calls to individuals who are listed on the national Do Not Call List. It can cost you $11,000 if you do not double check a listing and they report you.
In January of 2007, Planet Realtor changed its name to the Florida Association of Realtors. The same tools are available under a different name, and those tools are designed to help real estate agents manage their time more effectively.
