Always use a REALTOR®

The main thing that distinguishes a REALTOR® from someone who's merely licensed by the state to sell real estate is the REALTOR® Code of Ethics, which requires REALTORS® to put their clients' interests first at all times.

The REALTOR® Code of Ethics was first adopted in 1913 as a voluntary document outlining the professional duties of membership. The code became mandatory in 1924, four years after the Texas Association of REALTORS® was formed. This was an era before licensing was required in many states. Today, the Texas Real Estate Commission is the licensing authority for agents and brokers in Texas.

Holding a real estate agent's or real estate broker's license does not make someone a REALTOR®. Membership in the National Association of REALTORS® entitles licensees to use the term REALTOR® on their business cards and in their marketing materials.

Hiring a REALTOR® means you've retained someone who is committed to continuing education, professionalism, and integrity. The vast majority of REALTORS® participate in a local multiple listing service (MLS), which gives you a distinct advantage whether you're selling your home or looking for that special

Real Estate for Sale in Horizon City, Tx

Horizon city is a thriving community in El Paso County with many cheap lots in Horizon city - El Paso County. A renowned El Paso Economist David Schauer along with other at IPED authored an economic impact report last year that explains the impact of El Paso - Horizon City's growth to the east. We are already seeing huge development of both commercial and residential properties in east of loop 375 and north of I -10. I have been fortunate to be an El Paso native for 30+ years and have seen huge changes in our city's dynamics. As a Horizon city and El Paso Remax Realtor of my current clients are military relocations and many want to buy in the Horizon City - El Paso Tx areas, away from the base but convenient to the 375 loop. If you inherited/own/or just need to know where your particular Horizon City - El Paso Tx parcel then I recommend, as I do all my sellers with property out there, GETTING A SURVEY. The cost is nominal and he/she will tell you exactly where the property is. Before I market any land in Horizon City - El Paso Tx I require a survey not only because I need to know exactly where the lot is to take pictures for the mls but you will have to provide that as part of the purchase contact. I am in the process of researching exactly who the surveyor was on several lots in Horizon city 105 because I believe there very well may be developer interest in the next few years. Perhaps some of you have the original survey conveyed with the deed. If so, that surveyor was probably the same one used for the entire area. Please email me at yrussell@russell-realtor.com if you have any questions or comments.
