Selling properties
Things to know before selling your property
Every agent wants to sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price. However, there is much more to it than that, and an excellent or outstanding agent differs from an ordinary one in several ways. Real estate agents are judged by sellers based on the services they provide, their degree of competence, their skill set, and their moral integrity. The real estate agent that comprehends your aims and aspirations the best is the one you should work with.
What qualities you should look for in a real estate agent?
In addition to services, abilities, and characteristics, the ideal real estate agent for you will rely on your objectives, communication preferences, degree of support requirements, and personal values. Additionally, the ideal agent for you may not necessarily be the ideal agent for another person. Take into account these other qualities that might aid in determining whether you’ve located the ideal agent.
Personality
You want an agent who “gets” your personality. You can readily understand one another, they can change to meet your demands, and you two normally get along well.
Attention
The best agent for you will be aware of the extent of your support requirements and forthcoming about their abilities and limitations. Numerous sellers, especially first-time sellers, want someone to guide them through the process and answer their many questions. In actuality, 84 per cent of sellers stated they depend on their realtor to help them throughout the entire process. Some sellers, particularly those who have sold before, may just want an agent who can take the lead and sell the home quickly.
Similar principles
According to 76% of sellers, their agent must support their principles.
Financial adaptability
Sellers frequently seek brokers that are prepared to haggle over commission fees or design specialised contracts that will enable them to sell in a manner that satisfies their financial requirements.
Honest speech
An excellent agent understands the value of effective client communication. They do this by setting clear expectations, answering your questions whenever you have them, taking your calls when you need their assistance, giving input on anything from price to house renovations, and making recommendations to help you maximise your sale’s proceeds. It makes sense that 81 per cent of sellers believe that responsiveness is either extremely important or very important. A listing agent must be proficient in speaking with you, the buyer, and the buyer’s agent in addition to interacting with you.
