Types of Services That A Broker Can Provide
Since each province and state's laws may differ from others, it is generally advised that prospective sellers or buyers consult a licensed real estate professional.
Some Examples:
- Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) — an estimate of the home's value compared with others. This differs from an appraisal in that property currently for sale may be taken into consideration (competition for the subject property).
- Exposure — Marketing the real property to prospective buyers.
- Facilitating a Purchase — guiding a buyer through the process.
- Facilitating a Sale — guiding a seller through the selling process.
- FSBO document preparation — preparing necessary paperwork for "For Sale By Owner" sellers.
- Real estate appraisal — but only, in most states, if the broker is also licensed as an appraiser.
- Home Selling Kits — guides to how to market and sell a property.
- Hourly Consulting for a fee, based on the client's needs.
- Leasing for a fee or percentage of the gross lease value.
- Property Management
- Exchanging property.
- Auctioning property.
- Preparing contracts and leases. (Not in all states.)
These services are also changing as a variety of real estate trends transform the industry.

“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“In this nation I see tens of millions of its citizens, a substantial part of its whole population, who at this very moment are denied the greater part of what the very lowest standards of today call the necessities of life. I see one third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
