Cutting down expenses is a general tendency in tough times. Instead of paying commissions to a real estate agency, it seems more profitable to personally handle the job on ...

However, is it really more profitable?

Target

Due to the nature of the job, a real estate agent has access to many properties or clients. While you try to get to know the market and public, an agent just searches a database (with offers and demands). An agent can match an offer/ demand faster than an individual on his own. Acting as a full-time liaison between buyers and sellers, a real estate agent can track down faster and narrow searches. For example, if you are searching for a property, a real estate agent will narrow down you searches according to criteria such as property type, budges, availability and enhancements. Potential clients move on if you aren’t fast enough in answering their solicitations.

Right price

An experienced agent will know the value of the property in the first ten minutes after visiting the property and the value given by the neighbourhood. Searching similar properties is something anyone can do; however, a real estate agent knows when a property is over-priced or under-priced. Also, the agency will choose the right promotion strategy (house visits, online promotions etc.).

Adding value to your asset

Few adjustments are always a good option in order to boost the value of the property. However, can you define exactly which are right? At the best price? A real estate agency can identify precisely what needs to be done and also recommend partners for this sort of job (while you search within the cold market).

Legal issues and paper work

A real estate agent knows where to look in case of legal issues. Whether its litigations or any other legal issues, an agent will know what is needed for a transaction to be safe.

Having another person representing your interest is often easier (for objections hard to express). A real estate agent represents you objectively, has negotiation experience and can obtain a better deal. Also, an agent is more likely to act fair in such transactions since his/ her activity relies on recommendations.
