ADVANTAGES OF WORKING WITH A REALTOR

Are you looking for a new apartment or do you have a property that you want to sell? Are you still unsure whether working with Realtors is worthwhile?

By Samra GulzarPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

Here are 10 advantages of hiring a Realtor:

1. The Realtor has extensive market knowledge. Your agent knows exactly what is currently going on in the real estate market, what is realistic and what is not. Based on his knowledge, he is able to match the seller with the right buyer - this saves you time and money.

2. Commission only in case of success. If the realtor can't sell your home, you don't have to pay them a commission.

3. Support during the sales process. The realtor knows all the tips and tricks to speed up the sale of the property. Regardless of whether it is a matter of preparing your house for a visit or determining the right target group for marketing - he is at your side with advice and action.

4. Realtors usually achieve a higher selling price. Due to his many years of experience in the real estate industry, the Realtor knows which pricing strategy will be most successful for your property. He has the necessary negotiating skills to ensure the best possible result for you in the price negotiation.

5. The realtor can better assess the value of your property. Whether you are successful in selling your property depends, among other things, on a realistic assessment of its value. A reputable Realtor can determine the value of your property quickly and easily.

6. The Realtor is also your advisor. Serious realtors will advise you on all of your property sales issues. He doesn't put you under pressure and acts in your best interests - he's not out to get a quick deal.

7. The Realtor helps with important appointments. The presence of a Realtor is particularly worthwhile when viewing. Based on his experience and the emotional distance to the property, he can present it objectively and skillfully answer critical questions from potential buyers.

8. He's a marketer. The realtor knows which target group is interested in your house and which media are suitable to reach them. He formulates and places advertisements so ideally that the right people are attracted. This efficiency means further savings for you.

9. Saves time, money and nerves. People with no real estate market experience are particularly prone to making costly mistakes. A Realtor relieves you of the stress of selling privately and protects you from expensive detours.

10. He will help you finance and insure the property. Many Realtors offer a real "all-round service" and advise you on the financing and insurance of the property. They are well networked and often Realtor financial and insurance products from other companies. So you don't have to look for it yourself.

11. How do you find a good real estate agent?

12. Realtors often make it easier to find an apartment. But the problem is: The term "broker" is not protected. What you should pay attention to when looking for a broker in order not to experience a flop.

13. Choosing the right Realtor is like a game of chance. Because the term “broker” is not protected, adequate training is not required, all that is required is a business license. But how do you distinguish dubious service providers from qualified real estate agents?

14. 1) Find out more on the Internet

15. If you are looking for a broker, you usually do your research on the Internet first. Here the wheat can be separated from the chaff. Take a close look at the websites of the brokers. Does the site look professional? Which objects are being conveyed? Who are the contact persons? Serious brokers have nothing to hide and make sure to present themselves professionally and transparently.

16. 2) Don't make rash decisions

17. A good broker has one thing above all else: enough time for you! When a broker pushes for a quick contract, caution is usually required. A reputable broker will not only answer your questions in depth, but also ask you questions about your wishes and plans. So take the time to have an in-depth discussion with your potential broker.

18. 3) How well does the broker know his market?

19. Well-trained and experienced brokers are very familiar with the real estate market in their region: Does the broker know the current prices and how they are developing? Does he know about the local market rents? Does he have experience in the marketing of capital investments and relevant contacts to investors? Only if a broker can adequately answer these questions will he be able to realistically estimate real estate prices for you and not promise you miracles.
