Do-It-yourself
or use an agent
Whether
you’re
a buyer or seller, your real estate transaction may well
be the most important decision in your lifetime. It’s
no wonder that a lot of stress might be experienced. It
will ultimately be your decision whether you want to approach
this task on your own or with a qualified professional.
Many have a distorted view of real estate agents. There are
a number of unqualified people in the profession but there
are greater number of highly qualified, greatly concerned professionals.
Should you desire the highest of professional assistance, you
need only interview for someone who meets your expectations.
“For sale by owner” transactions,
along with landlords who have no professional representation,
account for nearly 80% of real estate litigation. Sellers have
little understanding of their responsibility to buyers and
the implications of their casual comments. A seller who says
the water heater is “new” when
it is actually 6-months-old, may have made a misrepresentation.
A seller who says the roof is almost new has implied warranty.
A buyer who passes up his rightful final walk-through inspection
may have forfeited his right to have a subsequent problem corrected.
Real estate professionals can help you avoid these expensive
pitfalls.
Statistically it has been shown that “for sale by owners” net
about 3% less (including commission) than they would have if
they had listed with a real estate professional. An agent can
assemble a cohesive marketing program: he will pay all the
costs of advertising and promotion, and will screen buyers
to make sure they’re more than nosy lookers. A professional,
as part of a listing system, is able to make your home available
to thousands of agents in the metropolitan area. He will take
care of the sticky details of negotiating. The seller will
never have to negotiate face-to-face with the buyer. He will
help keep the entire process on track, using the full force
of his experience, resources, and expertise to accomplish the
seller’s goals; a quick and
trouble free sale at the highest possible return with the fewest
problems! Isn’t
that what you want?
Professional real estate people, like other
professionals, earn their fees if they’re doing their
job properly. They can greatly assistant endeavors to either
buy or sell a home. The biggest task really becomes that
of selecting a truly professional agent!
