Exclusive Mandates: The Best Way to Sell Your Property

When it comes to selling your property, there are two main options: an open mandate and an exclusive mandate. An open mandate allows you to work with multiple real estate agents at the same time, while an exclusive mandate gives one agent the sole right to sell your property for a specific period.


If you are serious about selling your property quickly and for a good price, it is highly recommend using an exclusive mandate. There are many benefits to this approach, including:


    • More exposure: Your exclusive agent will put all their time, energy, and resources into marketing and selling your property. They will also have a network of contacts and marketing channels that they can tap into to reach a wider range of potential buyers.
    • Dedicated service: Your exclusive agent will be your one-point of contact for everything related to the sale of your property. They will be available to answer your questions, address your concerns, and negotiate on your behalf.
    • Better results: Studies have shown that homes sold on exclusive mandate tend to sell faster and for more money than homes sold on open mandate. This is because exclusive agents are more motivated to sell your property quickly and for the best possible price.
    • No double commission claims: With an exclusive mandate, you can be sure that you will only have to pay one commission fee, even if another agent brings you a buyer. This is because your exclusive agent has the sole right to sell your property.
      
    Here are some additional benefits of using an exclusive mandate:


  • Less stress: With an exclusive agent, you don't have to worry about coordinating showings with multiple agents or managing competing offers. Your agent will take care of everything for you, so you can relax and focus on your move.
  • More professional image: An exclusive mandate shows potential buyers that you are serious about selling your property. This can make your property more attractive and give you an edge in the market.
  • Accountability: Your exclusive agent is accountable to you for the sale of your property. They must put in their best effort to market and sell your home within the agreed-upon timeframe.
