Mike Collins Mortgage – Five ways that a realty consultant can help you save time and money

First-time buyer? You’ve heard about the stress of moving houses.

Mike Collins, an independent financial advisor, knows this feeling well.

He’s here to show you how a professional real estate agent can help you save time and money by taking care of every step.

He says, “Officially, there’s temptation to save estate agent fees – generally around 1-1.5% on your house sale – but there are so many ways that an agent could conserve your energy.”

Continue reading to learn more about why you should work with an estate agent instead of doing it all yourself.

It is all about the first impression

 

A real estate agent will inspect your house and give you a value on the first visit. An estate agent may suggest ways to get some cash for your home, such as replacing a worn out worktop or installing a new bathroom. You may be able to get a fresh coat of paint to brighten up or refresh a room.

They are familiar with the needs of buyers and sell houses every day. You could save a few grand on the cost of a bathroom remodel that the new owner will install within days.

 

Get the price right

You may not be able to sell your home if you do it yourself. This could result in a short sale and less than you had hoped for. The equity in your home will be used by buyers to secure their next home. You want to get the best price for your home.

They will also compare your home with other homes in the same area, so they can give you a good idea of its value. This is crucial in today’s volatile market.

You may not be able to find the most current information, so you could end up setting an unrealistic or inaccurate price. You could lose buyers if you set a price too high for your house.

The finer things

It is important to ensure that you have all necessary documentation. A professional estate agent will take the guesswork out of the process. They will be familiar with all legal requirements to help you get your house purchased.

They can also refer to conveyancing solicitors for speedy processing. Because they have handled hundreds of similar purchases to yours, they have all the knowledge and experience to guide you through the process without making costly mistakes.

 

 

Advertise your home

All of us have our social media accounts where we can advertise our homes for sale. How many of your friends are likely to be interested in buying your house? They may live nearby or across the country. Your accounts will not reach the right audience.

Agents have access to all platforms and are able to keep them updated so that your home is visible on the most relevant sites. You’ll be able to quickly get potential buyers through your website if they follow you and keep up to date with the latest homes for sale.

Negotiating for a great deal

An agent is no stranger to making good deals. Real estate consultants are skilled in dealing with all parties involved in a transaction.

Agents rely on their training and experience to make the right decisions during negotiations. They will know what buttons to press and how best to address any concerns.
