When it comes to selling a property, many people think they can do it on their own. The process seems simple: four photos, write an ad, choose the price you want and sit back and wait for calls. Reality often differs, but still the price of a commission is a mental hurdle when it comes to contacting a real estate agent.
What are the main reasons to hire a real estate professional? Is it really worth it? Can the help of an expert mean a saving in the end? We explain the advantages of having the help of a real estate agency.
5 reasons why you should sell a property with a real estate company
1- Marketing plan to sell your property
The activity of a real estate agency is not limited to publishing an advertisement, but makes a marketing plan for each property and invests decisively to highlight it through the most suitable media, with the aim of finding the best buyer for that property. Agencies have various marketing tools at their disposal: their own websites, virtual tours, professional videos and a strong presence on real estate portals and specialized media.
2- They are experts in the real estate area
Real estate agents know their work and are up to date with everything involved in a real estate buying and selling process, which goes far beyond advertising and visits.
It is also important to be able to carry out the proper documentation at home. For example, when drawing up a pledge or pledge contract that satisfies all the guarantees, both for seller and buyer, that clearly spells out the consequences if either party ever backs out. The consequences are even more than economic: if a mortgage contract has not been properly terminated and the house is put up for sale again, a double sale offence may be committed.
Knowledge of all factors is a fundamental point. A professional real estate agent is constantly trained and updated on the various aspects that surround the sector and can advise with a high level of specialization on issues: legal, tax, marketing, how to present the property, they can help you in the search for financing and even on all those issues after the contract of pledge such as notarial matters, the registration of the property, and all the legal procedures that are necessary. at its final stage.

Real estate professionals know each area well, have databases with real selling prices and know how to differentiate between offer and sale prices.
You can use online housing appraisal simulators, however, real estate agents will be able to advise you to set a price according to the market situation. This value will be realistic, regardless of what the seller thinks their property is worth, what they paid at the time or how much they sold something similar a few years ago. We need to know how the market is working here and now.

Real estate agents not only expect a direct response to the ads they have posted, but also have a database of buyers, which is very helpful in finding the perfect buyer. In addition, they can also reach customers by crossing this data with their own databases.
