It All Begins With the Realtor’s Listing…
![Page 10: The Real Estate Transaction Standard (RETS)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554df512b4c905f7578b5605/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
…And the Realtor’s Promise to the Seller
“I will sell your house”
For the highest possible price…..
In the shortest amount of time….
With the least amount of inconvenience…
(by presenting your home to the widest possible audience…)
