2. Negotiating Isn't Easy
I've heard a few people say they'd rather deal with the negotiation directly with their buyers, because they don't want someone in the middle. It's true that in some circumstances that would remove a layer of complexity. But that's assuming that both parties are reasonable and like-minded. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case.
A good real estate salesperson can be the buffer between two parties that wouldn't ordinarily get along. They are professional communicators trained to handle tough conversations.
3. Real Estate Agents Are Required To Disclose
In New Zealand the REAA (Real Estate Agents Act 2008) does a great job of protecting the vendor (and the buyers) in a transaction. It monitors and enforces a set of very clear guidelines for real estate transactions. These protect you from dishonest and poor quality salespeople.
4. Maximise Your Sale Price
A good real estate salesperson is backed by a strong team and a well-positioned brand that helps them showcase your property.
Not only are they backed by a great brand, but they're trained as a marketing professional too. They understand how to get your property in front of the largest amount of people who are most likely to buy your property for the right price.
5. Team
Whilst you get team support in most real estate businesses, few can provide it on the scale that you get at EVES. We chose the right people, train them where they need knowledge and them back them with world class support.
