In a modern-day world, where everyone has access to the internet, you may be forgiven for thinking that estate agents' jobs are redundant. You’re able to view a property online, and browse houses on the market from the comfort of your own home, so it might seem unnecessary to have a middle man with you for this journey.
However, naturally, we don’t think this is the case. An estate agent can help you get more out of your property journey. They’ll have local knowledge, and expert knowledge, and most importantly they can take the stress of buying or selling a house off of you, which is invaluable.
Here are some of the many ways an estate agent can help you…
With Contracts
Browsing houses on Rightmove is one thing, but signing a legally binding contract is a whole different ball game. Contracts can be a complete minefield to navigate, especially if you have no legal background. If the worse comes to worst, you could even end up having legal action taken against you, if you don’t arrange your contracts properly. An estate agent will have years of experience dealing with contracts, they’ll be able to answer questions that you don’t even know you have yet! They’ll also give you plenty of protection when it comes to drawing one up.
Reducing Stress
A lot of time, money, and work goes into selling a property. Between advertising, viewings, staging, and all those calls that come in from prospective buyers it would be easy to get overwhelmed. It is a full-time job trying to sell a house, one that an estate agent is qualified to do.
Adding a Personal Touch
Most estate agents are born salespeople, with the gift of the gab, which isn’t something that comes naturally if you aren’t used to it. They’ll know all the right things to say when it comes to selling a house. They can inflate the positives, whilst minimising the negatives, helping you seal that all-important sale.
