Tobias McCosker — 8 Important Ways Homeowners Benefit from Using Real Estate Agents
This article by Tobias McCosker (Toby McCosker) will attempt to briefly, examine, review, consider, and discuss 8 important reasons, homeowners benefit from using the right real estate agents, for their specific needs, and situation.
Local knowledge
Although markets, and times, change, in a vast number of circumstances, you will get your best offers, in the first few weeks, after it’s listed on the market. Therefore, pricing it right, from the start, often makes the difference, in a significant, major way!
Marketing expertise
The right agent will create a customized, personal marketing plan, which addresses your specific residence and property, location, etc, as well as your priorities, needs, etc. There is no, one — size — fits — all, marketing process, so using a quality real estate professional, often makes a significant difference.
Agent’s network
Those who try to sell their house, on their own, often discover they fail to attract as many potential buyers, like those using a professional. This is referred to, as an agent’s network, which includes the important tool, of listing the property, on the Multiple Listing Service, etc.
Hold client’s hand
The process of selling one’s house is often, a stressful one, so using a professional, who has been through it before, and has a better idea of what to expect and anticipation, eases many of these stresses. Seek someone who patiently, is willing to, hold your hand, through the entire process.
Explanations/ expectations/ modifications
Rather than assuming or guessing, wouldn’t it help, have clear explanations? Many homeowners have excessive or wrong expectations, and the individual, who represents you, must have the inner strength, to explain fully his reasoning, and strategies. Also, modifications, in terms of marketing, strategies, and pricing, are necessary, and someone with more experience and expertise is far better positioned to guide you properly.
Convenience
Do you want to have to stick around the house, to show, the property, or wouldn’t it make sense, to hire someone, to do so, professionally? Open — houses are only a small component in the overall strategy!
Negotiating
Professionally negotiating, on your behalf, benefits the client! Wouldn’t a professional, do a better job, in most cases?
From transaction stage, through closing
Hire someone who will be there for you, from the initial listing stages, showings, marketing, service, to the transaction stage, and then, until the closing, and house transfer is completed!
These are only 8 of the advantages of hiring the right person to represent your real estate needs. Focus on your needs, interview several, and choose, the right agent, for you!
