The need for a good real estate agent
The need for a good real estate agent in today’s market is ever increasing. The real estate market this year has created anxiety and excitement among both sellers and buyers. If in 2020 everyone was cautious, now the market is active and there is a shortage. Good things sell so quickly, that I can’t catch my breath.
So how do you navigate the real estate landscape and what can a realtor help you with? I point out four important reasons why it is important to involve a good real estate agent as a partner right now.
1. A good real estate agent knows the value of real estate
An experienced real estate agent provides the client with realistic information and supports them during the entire buying or selling process. The fact is that in today’s market, if you start experimenting with the price yourself, the time and financial cost can be painful later. Rather, start selling with a real price designed in cooperation with a specialist.
A realtor is also useful in price negotiations. For example, if they represents the buyer, they help to negotiate the price in a direction suitable for the buyer and also to find well-considered arguments and facts. It is an intermediary who sees the market price of the property based on previous transactions. Because sellers are emotionally attached to their homes, the realtor is the one who sees each home in a neutral way. Thus, the realtor sees the interests and opportunities of both parties and can calmly negotiate.
2. Cooperation leads to a goal
The current market situation, where there are fewer offers than buyers, shows that many objects do not reach the public sale. There are about 200 realtors in Uus Maa, and they all have their own clients and portfolios. In addition, our realtors also cooperate with other real estate agencies. Therefore, the realtor is the person who, in addition to the negotiation and advisory role, ties up all loose ends.
3. The real estate agent helps to sort out the papers
There are still many houses and apartments for sale, in which transactions or obtaining a loan are prevented due to missing documentation or data inconsistency in the building register. Before visiting the property, you should definitely make it clear that the data in both the land register and the building register match and that the house has an occupancy permit. It is also reasonable to familiarize yourself with the plans of the apartment association and bottlenecks (debtors, loan obligations, etc.) in the case of utility bills and apartments.
A realtor who knows exactly where to go and what one or another legal nuance means comes to the rescue when arranging the documentation or understanding its various nuances. If necessary, a lawyer from Uus Maa Real Estate Agency will also assist you.
4. A good real estate agent knows the solution
Therefore, a good realtor saves time, provides adequate advice on the market situation and real estate valuation, and also helps with other real estate issues. It is important to understand what you want and whether they correspond to reality. A good realtor doesn’t always agree with everything, but they can justify why their chosen course of action might be more beneficial.
