Buying or selling property can be stressful. I mean at the end of the day it’s the biggest asset your likely to buy or sell. So what should your real estate agent really be doing to help?
Ideally, you want your Real Estate Agent to be involved from listing your property FOR SALE, through negotiating the BEST PRICE, all the way to handing the keys over to the new owner. But this isn’t always the case.
This article informs you of three main things your agent should be doing for you:
- Advice: The best Agents should give you the best advice. Even before the selling process begins your agent should give you sound advice on things like the state of the current market and how you can maximise the property’s price.Along with this advice comes what we call a CMA (comparative market analysis) This will give you comparable, recent sales in your local area and therefore give you the true value of your property. In this process the honesty and integrity of an agent is essential as it helps you choose the right agent to represent you.This takes us to my next point…
- A Fiduciary Relationship: “When someone holds a legal or ethical relationship of trust with one or more other parties.” This sums a Real Estate Agent’s job description and in ordinary terms means your agent should always act in your best interests.This relationship with your agent continues throughout the entire transaction so your agent should be helping you understand what’s happening and making each step very clear.
- Make it Straight Forward: Remember your agent is there to help sell your property, so the sooner you find an agent the easier the process will be. At Elanora Realty our duty is to make your selling experience as “Straight forward and cost effective” as possible.In our previous article “The 3 most effective ways to sell your property for the best price” we touch on our price, price, price philosophy. Which references the most important part of selling, knowing the true value of your home. Buyers will know the local market and will be looking for a realistic price that reflects your location.
In summary by choosing the right agent you will see a better result, and at Elanora Realty we believe in our “straight forward, cost effective selling” approach. Adapting to an increasingly internet driven industry has allowed us to deliver the best results at a fraction of the cost.
