We know that the market is inundated with lots of products and services that you can buy and sell all by yourself. Getting rid of your old car? No problem. Opening a bank account? Hardly requires a buyer’s agent. But when it comes to selling and buying real estate, there are many time-tested reasons for working with a real estate agents.
When it comes to an investment as large as real estate, working with an agent provides a multitude benefits, but before you decide to go it alone, consider what you’ll be giving up:
1. Real estate agents know what’s really going on in their local market. Unreliable reports about what’s hot and what’s not isn’t the way to price a home or research neighborhoods. Agents provide visibility into the real numbers based on data and they are active in the communities.
2. Real estate agents understand the buying and selling process. How many real estate deals have you steered? Your experienced agents have experience with dozens if not hundreds of transactions. They know the process and they know how to handle things that could go wrong.
3. Real estate agents can save you time researching homes. Of course, you can look online, but you can also give your agent criteria and sit back while they create a hot-list of must-visit homes they think are worth your attention and some of these homes are not even listed online. Why wouldn’t you leverage their assistance?
4. Real estate agents negotiate for you. You can shield yourself from the stress of negotiations while your agent looks out for your best interests. It minimizes hard feelings and insulates you from the headache of negotiating directly.
5. Real estate agents help you see the transaction clearly. Buying and selling a home is an emotional experience, and emotions could cloud your decision making process. There’s a lot of money on the line. Can you really afford to act irrationally? Your agent can keep things leveled.
