If you have ever bought or sold a house, you are well aware that the process can be time-consuming and stressful unless you have the help of a real estate agent to sell your home.
For a start, you need to take the time to greet potential buyers (always with a happy face). Then, you have to deal with the necessary paperwork and legal issues, study the real estate market in your area, set a price, publish property sale ads on the Internet and negotiate the final value skillfully. So, it is not easy to sell a house, and precisely for this reason there are real estate consultants prepared to sell properties quickly and at the best price, without calling you all the time!
Because the objective of a real estate consultant is to achieve the best results for his client by selecting opportunities, scheduling visits and negotiating the final price. However, if you still have doubts about hiring a real estate consultant, know the main advantages:
In-depth knowledge of the market
Do you have a house for sale in the Algarve? The Alentejo? Ribatejo? Minho? Whatever the region, you will benefit if you hire a real estate consultant with deep knowledge of this market.
With a clear idea about the target public of each type of property, about the most wanted houses in the area and about the respective prices, a consultant can conduct the process of buying and selling property in an efficient and fast way, without wasting time and money attracting visits that will never convert into sales.
Correct estimation of the value of the property
Assumptions do not generate sales. Therefore, it is advisable to delegate to a real estate consultant the definition of the price or market value of your house. Only an experienced professional with a wide knowledge of the region and a history of property transactions knows how to evaluate your house in order to reach the advised selling price: the one that favours both parties.
Capital Gains Identification
To define the fair price, you should hire a real estate agent able to identify the unique characteristics of the property, which should deserve more emphasis to the buyer, such as the balcony with sea view or the proximity to shops and services that you are already used to. At the same time, the consultant can point out improvements or improvement works that could add value to the property, impress potential buyers and considerably increase the sale price.
Advertisement
Independently of the selling strategy, nowadays it will always be necessary to elaborate and publish an advertisement on the Internet, and a real estate consultant can do it for you: adapting the content to the buyer's profile, highlighting the positive aspects of the house and the area, making complete descriptions of all the rooms and accompanying the realization of photo sessions and videos for virtual visits that will arouse interest.
Exclusive dedication
Go to work or enjoy the weekend with your family with peace of mind because a consultant has all the availability and dedication necessary to promote the property, satisfy your needs and look after your interests.
Large network of contacts
Unless he or she started working yesterday, a property consultant has a wide network of contacts because the success of a property transaction often depends on partnerships. This means that by handing over your property to a consultant you are entering a wide network of professional consultants, both within and outside the contracted estate agency. It is often the case that consultants share business with other consultants in order to increase the likelihood that they will find an interested client (quickly) and complete the sale of a property.
Partnerships with professionals from other areas
In addition to working together, real estate agents have professional relationships with other partners, specialists in different areas, to offer their clients an extremely complete service, such as credit intermediaries, lawyers, property inspectors, etc.
Negotiating power
If you have some commercial talent you can try to sell your house on your own. Otherwise, take the decision to hire an experienced real estate consultant, with great negotiating power to obtain the most advantageous conditions, fruit of a specific commercial training and some innate ability, of course!
Qualified analysis of the buyers
Are you going to open the doors to a stranger without knowing the motivation of the purchase or if he really has money available to buy your house? If you hire a real estate consultant this will be more difficult to happen because this professional always makes an analysis of the buyers' financial capacity and the conditions to fulfill the responsibilities in time until the deed moment. An essential job to avoid wasting time and unpleasant situations that can harm both parties.
