5 Reasons to Hire a Real Estate Negotiator

With so many informations available online now days, clients sometimes asked, "Why should I hire a Real Estate Negotiator?"

They wonder, and rightfully so, if they couldn't buy or sell a home through the Internet or through regular marketing and advertising channels without representation, without a real estate agent. Some do OK, many don't. So if you've wondered the same thing, here are 5 reasons why you might want to consider hiring a professional real estate agent. 

1.   Education & Experience

You don't need to know everything about buying and selling real estate if you hire a real estate professional who does. The fact was, you hire people who are smarter than you are, it proves that you are smarter than they are. The trick is to find the right person. For the most part, they all cost about the same. Why not hire a person with more education and experience than you? We're all looking for more precious time in our lives, and hiring professionals gives us that time.

2. Agents are Buffers

Agents take the spam out of your property showings and visits. If you're a buyer of new homes, your agent will advices you to follow the right trails and preventing seller from taking advantage of your lack of knowledge about property’s sales and purchases procedures.    

If you're a seller, your agent will filter all the phone calls and try to induce serious buyers to immediately write an offer.

3. Price Guidance

Contrary to what some people believe, agents do not select prices for sellers or buyers. However, the agent will help to guide clients to make the right choice for themselves. The agent will advice seller not to push the property’s price over the market value. At the same time, he will help buyer to get the best price from seller.

4. Professional Networking

Real estate agents network with other professionals, many of whom provide services that you will need to buy or sell. Due to legal liability, many agents will hesitate to recommend a certain individual or company over another, but they do know which vendors have a reputation for efficiency, competency and competitive pricing. Agents can, however, give you a list of references with whom they have worked and provide background information to help you make a wise selection.

5. Negotiation Skills & Confidentiality

Top producing agents negotiate well because, unlike most buyers and sellers, they can remove themselves from the emotional aspects of the transaction and because they are skilled. It's part of their job description. Good agents are not messengers, delivering buyer's offers to sellers and vice versa. They are professionals who are trained to present their client's case in the best light and agree to hold client information confidential from competing interests.
