Why Use A Real Estate Consultant?
Real Estate Consultants are trained professionals. They know what properties are selling for. They know what the market demand is.
You will not be reaching many qualified buyers, if your house is not properly marketed. This can be very costly in terms of lost time, effort and money. Real Estate Consultants have a wealth of marketing options.
Real Estate Consultants will assist buyers with financing options and insure buyer pre-approval.
If you’ve ever tried to show your home yourself, you know what an inconvenience it can be when buyers stop by unexpectedly. With a Real Estate Consultant, prospects will be shown the house by appointment only.
Real Estate Consultants serve as an objective, third party, helping to keep the transaction on a business level and move the sale along.
When it comes to negotiating, Real Estate Consultants are experts. They have had training and experience plus their third party status helps them to act as go-betweens for you and the buyer to bring the transaction to a satisfying end.
The amount of paperwork and all the legal issues which must be addressed can be overwhelming. Real Estate Consultants help you through it all.
In 2008 the median home price for sellers who employed a Real Estate Agent was 38% higher than a home sold directly by owner (according to the National Association of Realtors 2008 data) While many unrepresented sellers are motivated to save paying the Realtor’s fee, I think that a 38% price difference speaks for itself.
