Well, firstly selling a home is a big decision. A big decision that hinges on you appointing a top real estate agent to sell your home. Secondly, hiring a top real estate agent is the best thing you can do. Hiring the wrong agent is the worst thing you can do. There are no in-betweens. Thirdly, your home is your biggest investment so work with top real estate agents that will give you results.
Here Are Some Points To Remember
-
- If you are selling a property, seek out top real estate agents in your area.
- Personalities matter – if you do not resonate with an agent from the start find someone you can partner with.
- It is all about the real estate agent’s footprint and their ability to leverage buyers. Certainly, a robust tech platform makes this more effective.
- The marketing plan is critical. This is NOT a cut-and-paste job either. Selling a property for R700,000 is quite different from selling a R7,000,000 million rand property. The marketing action plan is quite different.
- The type of mandate is critical. The best mandate is one that ensures your agent is 100% invested in the sale of your property. Most of the top real estate agents will not consider an Open Mandate. Remember the Keller Williams Sole and Exclusive mandate also means that all our real estate agents across SA have the opportunity to help you sell your property.
- Open mandates can be your worst option if you need success. Confusion reigns. Nobody is really invested in your sale. You get little to no feedback or communication. Rarely do you get stats on who is viewing your property if at all? Difficult pricing conversations never happen. Your property sits on the market and you cannot sell. The last point on Open Mandates is, do yourself a favour and check the quality of the photos on many of the open mandates. Some are good and the top real estate agents go the extra mile for your sale.
What Not To Do
-
- Don’t fall for the oldest trick in the book. Don’t fall for what you want to hear, especially on price. The numbers don’t lie.
- Weigh up the numbers carefully. You have one chance to make a good first impression.
- Don’t take on long mandates that lock you in. 3-Months is more than enough time to sell if you price your property correctly.
- Remember who it is that decides the price. It’s the buyers ultimately.
What Is A Great Real Estate Agent?
-
- A great real estate agent comes prepared. You need solid facts.
- A great real estate agent can name all their recent sales in your area.
- Brilliant real estate agents will know how long it took to sell a property and why.
- Fantastic real estate agents remember the details of every property transaction.
- A great real estate agent will also have a few active listings in your area. That’s important because it means that they have active buyers.
- A great real estate agency or real estate brand that can walk the talk is a company that has invested in technology. It’s called a win-win for all parties. A real estate agent’s ability to leverage technology has the ability to drive up the demand for your property when you sell.
