Importance of appointing well established, professional realtor for your home.

Importance of appointing well established, professional realtor for your home

A good professional realtor can make all the difference between your property selling faster than the market average and achieving a better price, or it simply sitting on the market unsold. Appointing an inexperienced agent will not only waste valuable time, but can cost the seller money too.

The expertise, network, and negotiating skills that a professional and experienced realtor bring to the table can make the difference between a smooth, profitable sale and a prolonged, stressful process.

An experienced realtor offers in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market, having previously sold many properties similar to yours. They track selling, buying and pricing trends and are up to date on current market dynamics, as well as neighbourhood specifics which may play a role in the selling of the property.

 A professional realtor will provide the prospective seller with an accurate Comparative Market Analysis which will include current trends in the area, the selling prices of properties recently sold, as well as an assessment of a recommended competitive listing price for your property.

Experience has shown that listing a property at the correct asking price offers the best chance of success as they generally sell faster and achieve better prices than those which are overpriced, and then have to drop their prices.

A professional realtor will also offer an effective marketing strategy for the sale of your property. This will include leveraging various channels, including online property portals and platforms, social media, and other traditional marketing methods. The aim is to ensure your property receives maximum exposure.

A professional realtor such as Seeff also offers a database of qualified buyers who will immediately be alerted to the property listing. Seeff also offers a network of agents across Cape Town and countrywide which further enhances the reach and increases the likelihood of attracting qualified buyers, ultimately expediting the sale process.

A professional realtor also offers vital negotiation skills which are critical to ultimately secure a win-win sales transaction for the seller and buyer. We are adept at navigating negotiations and bringing the parties to a point of mutual understanding and a successful sales transaction.

Professional realtors also offer extensive back-office and after-sales support to manage the transaction from the Offer through to the point where it is transferred into the name of the new owner and occupation is taken. This includes being able to assist with finance, the legalities and transfer process and so on.

A professional realtor ensures that all documentation is in order, helping you navigate the legal intricacies of the sale. This attention to detail protects you from potential legal issues down the line and ensures a smooth closing process.
