Selling
Whenever I speak with people about selling their own home without the use of a professional real estate agent I hear the same thing. ” I’ll save enough money to use on a trip” or ” why would I give money away like that” or “I know all about advertising – I won’t have a problem doing this myself”.
If using a real estate agent wasn’t a smart move, there wouldn’t be so many of us. Using a trusted real estate agent like Myself will provide the following:
- Generate more buyers through viral media/ traditional media advertising, contacts, MLS, networking. “for sale By owners” usually receive less than 10% of the traffic that a realtor will bring to the property.
- Because of your low buyer turnout your price of the home will decrease, and if the home stays on the market too long than everyone will begin to think there is something wrong with it
- Real estate professionals know how to deal with buyer and seller’s remorse. As soon as a buyer or seller is put in a “choice” position without aid from a realtor than that person has the tendency to “talk themselves out” of taking the next step.
- As most buyers now hire an experienced real estate sales person to represent them as their buyer-agency, you will most likely be negotiating against an experienced professional. You will not save money in the long run.
- Most people are poor negotiators. Real estate Professionals are trained on how to overcome objections and counter offers. Let a realtor go into the boxing ring for you; coming out brusied beaten and defeated is the last thing you want out of what is supposed to be an exiting experience.
- Ensuring a safe and reliable closing date can be tricky, as there are usually problems on closing. You cannot rely on your lawyer to help you mediate and negotiate the issues the seller and buyer will almost always have. Your Real estate professional is trained and hired to do this dirty work for you, plus, using a lawyer will inevitably cost you more and are less experienced in the field.
