When you're ready to think about selling your property, you need to ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you have the time, energy, resources, and contacts to do the job yourself?
- If you are one of the do-it-yourself buyers or sellers, will the results be as good as or better than they would have been if you had professional assistance?
- Would the entire process be as smooth?
- Would it give you more personal time?
- Would you have sold for more, if a real estate agent was involved?
- Will you have qualified buyers looking at your home?
- Read the following and learn how a real estate agent can help with their knowledge and training, and walk you through all the steps of your real estate transaction.
Pricing
This process generally begins with a determination of a reasonable asking price. Your real estate agent can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing terms, and condition of competing properties. These are key factors in getting your property sold at the best price, quickly and with minimum hassle.
Marketing
The next step is a marketing plan. Often, your agent can recommend repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the stability of the property.
Marketing includes the exposure of your property to other real estate agents and the public. In many markets across the country, over 50% of real estate sales are cooperative sales; that is, a real estate agent other than yours brings in the buyer. Your agent acts as the marketing coordinator, disbursing information about your property to other real estate agents.
Advertising is part of marketing. The choice of media and frequency of advertising depends significantly on the property and specific market. For example, in some areas, newspaper advertising generates phone calls to the real estate office, but statistically has minimum effectiveness in selling a specific property.
Overexposure of a property in any media may give a buyer the impression the property is distressed or the seller is desperate. Your real estate agent will know when, where and how to advertise your property to obtain the best results.
There is a misconception that advertising alone sells real estate. The National Association of REALTORS® studies show that 82% of real estate sales are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends and family, and personal contacts.
Security
When the property is marketed with the agent's help, you do not have to allow strangers into your home.
Agents will generally pre-screen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.
Negotiating
The negotiation process deals with much the same issues for both buyers and sellers. Your agent can help you objectively evaluate every buyer's proposal without compromising your marketing position. This initial agreement is only the beginning of a process of appraisals, inspections, and financing--a lot of possible pitfalls. Your agent can help you write a legally binding, win-win agreement that will be more likely to make it through the process.
Monitoring, Renegotiating and Closing
Between the initial sales agreement and closing (or settlement), questions may arise. For example, unexpected repairs are required to obtain financing or a cloud in the title is discovered. The required paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. Your agent is the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and move the transaction to closing (or settlement).
