The Value of a Real Estate Professional

Why hire a Real Estate Agent to help sell your home?

Do you have the time, experience, information sources and contacts to do the job yourself? Would it go as smooth as it could? Would you obtain a higher price? Here are just a few areas in which a professional Real Estate Agent earns his or her commission

Pricing Considerations

Your agent’s insight in determining a pricing strategy for your property can keep you from missing an opportunity by undervaluing or wasting time by overpricing.

Marketing Expertise

Preparations

  • Your agent is skilled in recommending repairs or cosmetic work that has proven to minimize time on the market and maximize both prospect interest and sales price.

Exposure to the public

  • Your agent will know best how to use flyers, open house days, and especially mailing to and meeting with ex-clients and other qualified buyers. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® studies show that 70% of real estate sales are the result not of advertising, but of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends and family, and personal contacts.

Exposure to other industry professionals

  • Your property will immediately be listed in NNEREN’s MLS system. Once listed, it is statistically likely the buyer will be the client of another agent from the hundreds of agencies with MLS access.

Advertising: Media and Frequency

  • It takes experience to know what works in advertising. Ads generate phone calls to the real estate office, but statistically have minimal effect selling a specific property. Overexposure of a property in any media may give a buyer the impression the property is distressed or that the seller is desperate.

Security

Working with a real estate agent ensures that all showings will be supervised. You can instruct buyers to call your agent for an appointment so they can be prescreened, you will be safe, and you can do your final polish before the showing.

Negotiating, Monitoring, Renegotiating, and Closing or Settling

Middleperson

  • Most buyers prefer to negotiate with someone they perceive as unbiased, professionally trained and unemotionally attached to a property. They are more likely to express objections to agents with the hope of resolution, when they otherwise might move on to another property rather than talk to you directly. The process of appraisals, inspections, and financing involves a lot of possible pitfalls. There are many required legal forms and processes. Your agent can meet specialists and negotiate regarding repairs needed to complete your contract. Industry contacts provide resources for work persons in many areas with knowledge as to their skill and reliability.

I (Lee Johansen) am not the listing agent on most of the properties displayed for sale on my web site; however I can and will research any property on a Buyer's behalf and/or arrange for any showings/viewings. I make every effort to display all available properties for the benefit of Buyers. By law, the Listing Agent, or Seller Agent, represents the "Seller's interests". I recommend that as a Buyer, you use a Buyer's Agent to help locate and procure property. By law, a Buyer's Agent represents the "Buyer's interests" and would help with the following: maintain Buyer confidentiality, locate property, prepare offers, present offers, account for funds/deposit monies, disclose information relevant to a transaction, arrange for inspections and provide advice throughout the entire process. Please refer to my Agency Disclosure page for additional information on agency relationships...
