Many home sellers today wonder whether they really need a real estate agent to sell their house. Finding a buyer on your own may save you the real estate agent fee. However, research shows that properties sold through agents sold for 22% more. Selling your house is a major financial and emotional undertaking that definitely needs logical eyes to look through.
Relief in Negotiation
I recently encountered a lady who sold a townhouse in Nairobi. She did not employ the services of an agent to sell her house. As a result, it stayed in the market for so long. Strangely, other houses in the area were selling- fast. She knew the sellers were using A-list agents but still trusted her ability to sell it on her own. Long story short, she got tired of waiting and sold her dearly beloved house at a very low price. When she later
Seller agents indisputably bring an added value to any transaction. Since attending open-houses is their full-time job, they possess intimate information on why other homes are selling faster, and at what price. They understand first and foremost the emotion that comes with selling a home. For this reason, agents ensure they sell it at the highest price, depending on the market. Top agents negotiate well because, unlike most buyers and sellers, they can remove themselves from the emotional aspects of the transaction. Real estate agents also network with other professionals in other fields. Hence, they may have important contacts on upgrades you need to sell your house faster.
Legal Help From Agents To Sell Your House
Closing a deal is not as easy as a lot of people think. The process of transferring ownership can be demanding and involves a lot of paperwork. Also, note that a very small mistake can land you in prison. You can therefore avoid this by hiring a professional. To add to that, as a seller, you need to protect yourself in the contract in case the buyer defaults in payment. You could miss on this fine print as an amateur. Remember that even the smoothest transactions may have issues later in the future. As confusing as they may be, one call to your agent will help you smooth things up.
It is only good and honest agents who will be ready to assist. But, where do you find these agents? An agency, that’s the best answer. The reason is, agents at an agency are governed by important core values. These include integrity, professionalism and customer commitment.
