The Look of Right Real Estate Agent



A skilled seller's agent supports home sellers with the knowledge to make them confident in their real estate sales decision. The seller's agent will know how to create demand for your home. The seller's agent will advise if there is work on your house that needs to be completed to get the maximum monetary value. They know about the locality in which your home is located and thereby will create a winning marketing strategy to sell your house quickly.

The skilled seller's agent will advise you based on the condition of your house, the market value of similar homes in your locality, and understand your time frame needs to determine the best listing price to create a marketing demand to sell your home. Usually, the offered amount from buyers will depend on the market demand and comparable listings to your house.

A skilled real estate agent knows that research is a crucial factor in the art of negotiating skillfully. Before a seller's agent markets your house, they listen carefully to your needs, then gather facts from all types of data and assess your home to compare it with other similar houses. They will show you pictures of the houses that relate to your home within your locality so you can see how your house compares both inside and out to the other competing successful sales. The sales data will also include how long the home took to sell at the price it sold.

Skilled seller's agents that are committed to excellence will be straightforward with advising you on the many factors that can influence a successful house sales price. The final decision of the listing price and the acceptance of a sales contract is the sole decision of the seller.

The issues that may affect the sale price of your house are timing, short sale, lack of funds to repair the home before the sale, probate, lack of staging, curb appeal, under contract to buy a house before you sell your current home.

A seller must be aware that when a buyer and a buyer's agent take a look at the seller's home, they already saw many other house listings. They will be comparing your house to the ones they saw and will be weighing it in comparison to your house listing price.

Without a skilled seller's agent by your side, your home could be the determining factor that sells someone else's house.

 A skilled buyer's agent is your real estate consultant that supports you with the knowledge to make you confident in your real estate purchase decisions. The buyer's agent should be able to give you overall advice on the requirement for a mortgage, know the basics of home construction, know about the locality and is resourceful to find a location that is right for you. The buyer's agent should be able to negotiate the best real estate deal based on the criteria of your personal needs.

It takes skill to negotiate a good deal in real estate. A skilled real estate agent knows that research is a crucial factor in the art of negotiating skillfully. Before a buyer's agent attempts to consult with a seller the buyer’s agent will listen carefully to your needs, and then gather facts from all types of data, a home inspector when buying an existing house, and mortgage professionals to make you have a successful purchase.

Though the seller pays the buyer's agent, the seller understands that a buyer's agent does not operate in the seller's interest. To look at this from another angle, it is the buyer who technically pays the buyer's agent. For example, at the closing of a house, the buyer pays the seller for the house; the seller then takes money out of that payment and pays the buyer's agent. With that in mind, there is no reason not to get a buyer's agent to protect your interest in one of the most significant purchases in your life.

If you do not get a buyer's agent, then you are subjected only to the seller's interest. That would be similar to going to court without a lawyer to protect your rights. It is never wise to even go to the sales office of a new build without an agent on the first visit. Many builders have a clause that they will not add a realtor to your transaction if you do not go to their sales office with a buyer's agent on the very first visit. It is one thing to buy an existing building, but it is more of a challenge to buy one that only exists on paper. Without a skilled agent by your side, a costly mistake can have a long term effect.

Downsizing for Retirement

“I met my girlfriend in college who later became my wife. After we both graduated from college and pursue our careers we thought of having kids. After about five years we were able to save enough money to make a down payment for the house of our dreams. We got a single-family colonial 5 bedroom house. At the time we wanted a house big enough that we could raise a family. Our kids are all grown now and have started their own families. We do not see them much other than sometimes on Christmas. Though we have created lasting memories in the house it is feeling too big to manage and maintain. Both my wife and I have both been retired for a few years and are on limited retirement benefits. I have arthritis in my knee and it is perplexing to climb the steps every day to go up to my bedroom that often time I sleep on the sofa in the family room. When I was younger it was easier to do things around the house but climbing ladders, mowing the lawn, snow removal, etc., is too much at my age. The ...

How to get the Max House Value

After living in your house for years, you have come to the point where you desire to sell your home. During those years you had it painted the way you wanted and made your dream home come through. Now is time to pack your dreams and leave the house for someone else to create their dream home.  In the attic and the garage, you accumulated a lot of stuff over time, and at that time you bought them you thought it was a good idea, but there is no room to walk in those areas. You always thought one day you might need it, and even though you never used them, you could not come to grips with getting rid of them. You wonder if anyone will notice the water stain on the ceiling that seems to spread a little more than it did a few months ago, but since there was no need for a bucket, you avoid spending money to investigate what causes it because you fear the expense of knowing.  Though this scenario is fictional, it may be all too familiar, and most selling agents have confronted similar...

How Home Value Works

The real estate market in the United States is on its way up again. You can see prices rising in most cities. Real estate is similar to the stock market; stock that rises can fall as well. As opposed to the Stock Market, the best thing with real estate is that if the real estate market crashes, you have something tangible to hold onto rather than valueless pieces of paper.  The main thing you should be mindful of in real estate is to know the value of your real estate at all times. Like the stock market, many things can influence the rise and fall in the market value of real estate. Real estate can rise when the demographics changes from a predominantly low-income renter’s occupied property to owner’s occupied property. It also has to do with the income bracket of the owners. Frequently some may think it is the real estate property and the improvements that add real estate value to the real estate property, which is not entirely true.  The most significant influence on...
