Here is another infographic you can use for a social media or blog post targeting potential contacts! This one shares the benefits of hiring a real estate agent! Feel free to share this image wherever you like, it can be downloaded right below the image!
From streamlining the process to pesky paperwork - agents have clients covered! Let's start with the obvious: working with an agent means less work for the client! Another clear benefit is that agents can work to find a future home for their client as their house sells! This can take the pressure off during an already stressful time.
The numbers can't lie when it comes to benefits - almost 50% of sellers who sell without an agent sell at a lower price than if they had listed their home. How much lower? An average of 18% lower! That right there is worth working with an agent!
If the numbers aren't enough to convince someone, than maybe the reduction of stress is the benefit they need to hear about. Agents possess important knowledge that simply isn't visible to the public when it comes to real estate. The market, neighborhoods, housing comps, and more are only accessible through an agent. The paperwork that comes with buying a home can be downright exhausting but agents handle that for their clients and the clients only have to deal with and sign the important stuff. Plus, agents can walk clients through the paperwork that is hard to read and fully understand because of the legal jargon. The knowledge and guidance an agent can provide is priceless and can really help buyers and sellers. Real estate can be confusing and tricky and an agent is a compass through everything!
Agents are there to help clients and should be utilized so clients can reap all the benefits!
Here is another infographic you can use for a social media or blog post targeting potential contacts! Feel free to share this image wherever you like, it can be downloaded right below the image! This infographic shares 8 important real estate hacks!
Use this infographic to help clients learn these eight important hacks. Starting with the obvious, it's important to hire a good agent and real estate team. Furthermore, an agent will often have a team they work with to expedite deals seamlessly. Next, it's a good rule of thumb to always get three bids. This comes into play when selling or doing any home improvements. Three bids are a good idea so that competitive pricing can be obtained.
Another hack that may seem like a no-brainer but is a common mistake is to buy smart. Buying smart means buying with the future in mind and with realistic expectations. Also, buying smart means to purchase a home within your means. Under budget is best! Why? Because closing costs, repairs, and renovations always cost more than initially thought!
Our next hack leads us to listing a home at the right price. This is key because the wrong price can lengthen the selling process and make the situation much more stressful than it needs to be. As a seller, it's important to really consider the first offer, especially if they are willing to negotiate. The first offer typically means an excited buyer which is great for closing a deal that is a win-win.
Finally, be sure to be able to qualify for a loan easily or have creative back-up options and above all else, know when to walk away if a deal just isn't right for you.
