WHAT DOES AN AGENT HAVE THAT I DON’T?
The simple answer to one of the most commonly asked questions in the property market – “Why should I use a real estate agent to buy, sell or manage my property?” – is because it makes financial, legal and common sense to do so.
It may seem tempting to keep commission dollars in home owner pockets, but in the long run there is greater chance of maximising success and minimising stress if an agent is involved, just as there is if you use a lawyer when going to court.
A good agent has the right skills and experience to ensure no opportunities are missed and will make the process, that can be stressful and time-consuming, a lot less pressured and more enjoyable.
The trick is selecting the right one. The relationship between an agent and client needs to one of mutual respect, based on loyalty and trust, because real estate transactions can be complicated and success relies largely on the skills of key players such as the agents and the client’s willingness to cooperate with their strategy for marketing and during negotiations.
Ultimately, having the right agent on your side can result in thousands of extra dollars for home owner’s pocket, so it is worth taking the time and effort to find the one that suits the needs best.
Budget, location, size and style are just a few of the hundreds of factors that are considered for a property transaction. Whether buying selling or renting a property, feedback and direction should be integral to the process.
Licensed real estate agents devote a lot of time and effort to gaining experience, qualifications and active buyer contacts. At First National Real Estate a great deal of energy and resources is spent on honing and developing agent skills, so they can become specialists in their industry and local real estate markets. Additional systems that actively match buyers and tenants to properties also help assure no opportunities are missed.
