Congratulations. Just the fact that you found your way here shows you're considerably more savvy than the average home seller. In fact, 98% of visitors who come to this site are looking to buy a home. This is where you want your home prominently displayed. When choosing a broker, one of the first things you should check is their web site.

Times have changed so much. We now find more buyers through the web than nearly all other sources. Newspaper advertising brings in only a tiny percentage of our buyers. Incredibly, most of our sellers call because of the way we advertise homes in our print ads. And, most of the buyers who call for a particular home in the newspaper end up buying something else. We've found a much better way to market your home. We're now one of the top real estate company web sites in the area. It was well worth the effort for our selling clients, and our buyers have easy access to the information they need in order to buy your property.

You should also know that over 80% of all home sales are brokered by real estate agents. Why? Because it takes much more than the cost of a commission to gain experience in real estate transactions, marketing strategies, analyzing property values, building a list of buyers, and establishing the network it requires to sell your home at fair market value.

Buyers are quickly learning to work with Realtors® who represent them. The commission still comes out of the sale, because many states now recognize that buyers have as much right to representation as sellers—it takes both to make a transaction. Most buyers start out by looking for the best bargain they can get. At the same time, you want the absolute best price you can get for your property. That's why you need someone with experience on your side.

Our job is to expose your home to as many buyers as possible, attract offers, and help you negotiate a deal as smoothly as possible. Being in a 4-season vacation area, where tourists ebb and flow throughout the year means your local real estate agency has to do more than the average Realtor®. Their marketing efforts need to be more far-reaching. They have to appeal to regional, national and global markets to get your home the attention it deserves.

In order to keep a steady stream of buyers interested in your home, you need a company with proven marketing techniques, strategies constantly tested and perfected to keep up with the times. Like most real estate agencies, we belong to an MLS (Multiple Listing Service) that provides instant information about your home to thousands of other real estate agents who may have clients interested in property like yours. We belong to two: NNEREN, which primarily focuses on New Hampshire properties, and MREIS, which includes all of Maine.

Next, you need a company with a name. A name that's associated with honesty, integrity, and dedication to customer service. We have that name in Joy Tarbell Realty, the frontrunners when it comes to information technology. We're dedicated to making the sale of your home as quick and hassle-free as possible.
