There are many reasons why it is a good idea to be represented by a Real Estate Company whether you are looking to purchase or sell a home.
For a buyer:
-
A REALTOR™ Holds a provincial licence and is bound by the rules and regulations of NBREA and CREA , also unlike in a private sale, the REALTOR™ acting on your behalf carries endemnity insurance which covers mistake or omission which are key factors to your purchase .
-
A REALTOR™ has access to 'all' the market, way beyond what a buyer on his or her own could hope to achieve including past sales history.
-
A REALTOR™ will look after a buyers interest, pointing out negative aspects of a home from a re-sale and detached point of view.
-
A REALTOR™ will save a buyer his or her valuable time and advise on properties that match your requirements, are not over-priced or have potential for good re-sale.
-
A REALTOR™ can always arrange a more favorable mortgage than a loan officer at a bank will offer.
-
A REALTOR™ is used to negotiating a sales contract and will often be able to negotiate a lower price than a buyer could while face to face with a seller.
For a seller:
-
A REALTOR™ will always be able to expose a home to more potential prospects than a seller could on his or her own.
-
A REALTOR™ will field all enquiries and show the property allowing you to get on with your busy schedule.
-
A REALTOR™ is aware of any pitfalls for the seller in today's sophisticated offers format received from a buyer.
-
A REALTOR™ will offer some protection from unsavory characters posing as buyers to size up a person's property.
-
A REALTOR™ will be able to conduct a comparative market analysis on your property and advise you on what changes you could make to your home to assist in it selling faster.
-
A REALTOR™ working with the other 300+ local MLS® agents will have a far greater chance of getting your home sold and for more money. With a private sale it is very rare you will have competiting buyers at the same time offering you full price.
