Why You Should Use an Real Estate Agent
Why use an Real Estate agent when you can save money buying or selling a home yourself?
Generally a real estate agent will make around three percent of the sale price, which represents a fair saving. Or does it?
The reality is that using a real estate agent can actually save you money in the long run.
The Benefits of Using a Real Estate Agent to Buy or Sell a House
A licensed real estate agent is a trained professional who can help you in your property search, or assist you in selling your home. Generally anyone trained to buy and sell realty will accurately set a price when they walk into a home. A trained real estate agent will also know where to find sales prices of similar homes in the neighborhood that were sold recently, for comparison, to make sure your home (or the house you are planning to buy) is not overpriced or underpriced for that matter.
A good real estate agent will be able to give a seller good advice in terms of renovations that should be made prior to putting the house on the market; as well as ideas and suggestions regarding staging the home.
There’s a lot of paperwork involved in buying and selling property, which is another key reason to use an RE agent. A real estate agent will also negotiate, unemotionally, on your behalf – whether you are buying or selling realty.
Another really good reason to use an Real Estate agent for your property search or realty deal is because they network with other real estate agents. They can find properties for sale, and potential buyers that you will never be able to find without their help.
