All Real Estate Brokers and Agents must be licensed. Not all who sell real estate are REALTORS ®. REALTORS ® are members of the National Association of REALTORS ® (NAR). As members, they must agree to established business practices and ethical standards. Olde Dartmouth Sotheby's International Realty is a member of the National Association of Realtors and of the Greater New Bedford Association of Realtors (GrNBAR).

Those REALTORS ® who want to give their clients' properties maximal exposure and who want their buyers to be aware of as many properties as possible will subscribe to a Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Generally, this results in higher selling prices for homes that they list, as their pool of buyers is larger. Not all real estate agents or REALTORS ® do this. They may not want to pay the annual dues, share their listings with other REALTORS ®, (called co-brokering), or be able to invest in the technology that this requires.

Of those REALTORS ® that do belong to a multiple listing service, most just belong to the one Multiple Listing Service. Olde Dartmouth Sotheby's International Realty is a member of MLSPIN network as well as the state-wide MLS system in Rhode Island. This exposes our listings to most participating REALTORS ® in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. It also gives us access to more properties to show our buyers. Remember, we can sell any property in Massachusetts or Rhode Island.

Olde Dartmouth Sotheby's International Realty also advertises heavily in print and on-line media. We are paying advertisers on all significant home selling network Web sites. We also optimize our sites for rankings in on-line search engines like yahoo.com, google.com, aol.com, altavista.com, hotbot.com, and many others.

Furthermore, Olde Dartmouth Sotheby's International Realty advertises regularly in print media in publications such as the Standard Times, the Boston Globe, the Real Estate Book, The Providence Journal, and the Wall Street Journal. We advertise our commercial listings in the Business Journal of South Eastern Massachusetts and the Providence Business Journal. All this advertising comes at enormous cost to us and is designed to increase exposure of our clients' properties.

Olde Dartmouth Sotheby's International Realty not only advertises in the Web sites and publications listed above, but we advertise effectively. All our listings are marketed on-line with slide shows and virtual tours. We get many compliments from our clients on how our ads are written and how our clients' homes are featured. And as we are experienced professionals with prior careers in other industries, we bring attentiveness, follow-through, and knowledgeable/ ethical service to all of our transactions.
