To have a better understanding of what a realtor really does, we shall explain it in the succeeding articles.
In the seller’s point of view, hiring an agent can effectively sell their properties at an amicable price. The book entitled Freakonomics by Steven Levitt laid down surprising fact that a realtor can out the property in the market on the average of 10 days and could sell it three percent higher than the seller’s original price. This is indeed a win-win situation for the agent and the seller.
On the other hand, in the buyer’s point of view, having a trusted real estate agent can ensure that you will get the best deals for your money. You will be put on the priority list of buyers once you have chosen a specific property that you want to acquire.
What happens if you sell your property without an agent?
You will have a hard time putting your property on the Multiple Listing Services or the MLS. This is a site wherein all the agents put the properties for sale and it is accessible to both sellers and buyers. Having an agent can easily get you on the list.
Without a realtor, it could mean trouble for you. Selling your property personally would entail that you will become an instant real estate broker sans the training, license, and formal education. You will do the negotiation personally. You will have to meet with your potential client and even have them a home tour so they can see the place. In addition to that, you will also be the one who will be dealing with the contract of the sale, register the property under their name for the local tax. You would also have to identify the commission that you can get out of the sale. However, you need to be reasonable with the price.
The bottom line of this all then, is that if you want to be practical and smart as regards to how you want to sell your products. And today, the best solution for such dilemma is to hire a real estate agent. According to Investopedia, real estate agents can set a more realistic goal of what a home is worth and they can discern better the true cost of a house. Their commission is within the seller’s discretion. The only limit is that you give your broker their due as they deserve it.
The good thing about hiring an agent is that you can set your terms for the sale. Despite not being totally involved in the negotiation, you still have control on how the sale should be done and you still have the last decision for everything.
