Property owners often believe that selling their home privately will save them money and maximise their profits. However, the expertise, experience and services from a real estate agent like Team Anderson Property Group, provides greater value at the end of the day and can actually improve the profit margin.
5 of the top benefits that you can expect to receive when selling your property through a real estate agent include:
- Property Pricing
A real estate agent is skilled at ensuring that the property is listed at the optimal price in order to attract potential buyers and ensure that the property is being sold for the highest price possible. They use a number of factors to assess the right price including the current property market trends, the market value of the home, knowledge of the area and the features of the home. It is always advisable to use a local agent to get the greatest benefit when pricing a property for sale.
- Potential Buyers
Real estate agents already have a pool of potential buyers to draw from giving them an advantage over having to start from scratch to find qualified buyers who will be interested in your property. If none of their existing list of buyers match your selling requirements, they understand how to market your property and list it in order to attract the greatest number of potential home buyers. Remember that the greater the interest in your property, the more room there is for negotiation and the higher the price you are likely to get. This can assist in selling your home faster.
- Negotiation
Private home sellers often do not have the skills or the power to negotiate with potential buyers and therefore end up accepting the first viable offer resulting in selling the house for less than it’s worth. Your real estate agent will negotiate on your behalf in order to get the best price possible. Keep in mind that the higher the selling price, the more the agent will earn in commission meaning that it is also in their best interests to get the highest offer possible.
- Preparing The Property For Sale
There are many factors to consider before putting your house on the market to be sold. Should you make repairs, renovate or remodel or sell as is? When will be the best time for potential buyers to view the home? Do you need to stage the home in order to bring it up to show house standards? Your real estate agent will advise you as to the best route to take in order to ensure that you do not invest more than you are likely to profit in order to get your home ready for sale.
- The Details
Your agent will take care of all the necessary paperwork and other details that are involved with selling a property and free up your precious time to continue with life as usual. You can alleviate most of the stress related to a home sale by allowing a real estate agent to take care of every detail of the sale.
Never underestimate the value that an estate agent can provide in assisting you to sell your house fast and for as much profit as possible.
