When deciding whether to use a real estate agent or sell
on your own, be sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons so that you make the best decision for your family and
situation. Here is our list of top reasons why most people use
a real estate agent.
1. Real estate agents have market knowledge. Because of
their
access to the most recent market data, agents are able to
give
you advice on realistic purchase and listing prices.
Plus, they can
provide you with a report of comparable homes for sale
and historic
market data, so that you can ensure you’re getting the
most for
your money.
2. They negotiate for you. One of the most difficult
tasks whether
buying or selling a home, is handling the negotiations.
Many times,
real estate agents can help you to get creative with your
offers, so
that you end up with a deal that has your best interests
in mind.
3. They coordinate and host your showings. Whether you’re
buying or selling, real estate agents can be a lifesaver
when it
comes to doing the hard work for you. When selling your
home, it
is almost impossible to coordinate showings and open
houses in
between your work and life schedule. A real estate agent
will be
there for you when a last minute showing comes up in the
middle
of the day or when you need to schedule 15 appointments
on a
Saturday.
4. Real estate agents offer additional ways to find and
sell homes.
When looking for a new home, real estate agents have the
inside
scoop on the latest listings – sometimes even before they
hit the
MLS. Through their relationships, they’re able to quickly
assess the
seller’s situation in order to give you advice on offer negotiation
tactics. When selling, real estate agents will leverage
their networks
in order to sell your home more aggressively to other
agents. Studies show that 82%
of
real estate sales are the result of agent contacts
through previous
clients, referrals, friends, family and personal
contacts.
5. Realtors know how to sell homes. Today, prospective
buyers
expect professional photos and videos to accompany your
listing.
Let your real estate agent handle staging and marketing
your home
across various channels. Plus, let them screen candidates
before
you spend your extra time cleaning your home for a
showing.
6. They will help you negotiate inspections. If you’re
planning on
buying a new home, expect for your inspector to find
things that
need to be fixed before closing. Your real estate agent
will help
you wade through your inspection report and decide which
items
should fixed prior to closing. On the selling side, your
real estate
agent will provide the same guidance when your buyer
comes back
with fix requests.
7. Real estate agents will connect you with trusted
partners.
As you buy or sell a home, you may need to hire
additional
professional services, including: inspectors, lawyers,
moving
companies, plumbers, title companies and more. Let your
real
estate agent recommend people that they have a good
reputation
in your community.
8. Your realtor will guide you through the closing
process. At the
closing table, your real estate agent will be right there
with you to
explain each piece of paperwork before you sign. It will
make you
feel more at ease with the process.
9. They will help you stay
objective. Whether buying or
selling a home, it’s important to
stay objective during negotiations
in order to get the best deal.
10. Great agents will help you
buy or sell a home quickly.
