/in /by

Why Hire a Sellers Agent to Sell Your Home? Want to get top dollar for your home?  Hire a good real estate agent to help sell your home and you’ll be grateful for the help.  A seasoned realtor brings hidden resources to benefit you.

A Sellers Agent negotiates with Buyers’ agents and reviews contracts and so much more.  Let your Sellers Agent verify financing with Buyers Lenders, hire a Title Company, and navigating through the dates and deadlines.  This professional moves you through phases, going under contract to getting you to the Closing table.  If you go it alone, you could find yourself in over your head.

When you hire a real estate agent to sell your home, the agent steers the boat.  Wouldn’t it be great to have help preparing your property, having access to markets, have someone to weed out unqualified buyers, and someone to negotiate and go through the stacks of paperwork for you?  Hire a Sellers Agent and the task of selling your home will be easy on you.

How a Realtor® Helps You Sell Your Home

A Realtor can help you waltz through what could otherwise seem like a daunting task.  You’ll be grateful to have a professional on your side.  A Sellers Agent gets busy right away and carries you through to the end.  At Amy Hitch at HomeSmart, my responsibilities begin with:

  • Completing a market analysis and market value assessment of your homes and establishing a Listing price
  • Preliminary inspection, fix up home and stage to get your home, “show ready!”
  • Preparing the Listing contract to put your home on the market
  • Preparing the Seller Property disclosures required to give to the Buyer’s agent for Buyers once you are to go Under Contract
  • Listing your property in the MLS & putting your marketing plan into action
  • Communicating with you on all scheduled showings
  • Reviewing all offers and helping negotiate any counter offers or other terms of sale

Though extensive, this list not a full list of what it takes in selling your property.  There are many more aspects to your home Selling process!

Get Best Price for Market

Hire a Sellers Agent to Sell Your HomeYour Sellers Agent will show you recent comparable properties, homes, and neighborhoods.  It’s better to set a reasonable price.  If you overprice the property, it could be on the market too long.  It’s also good to price for the current market instead of having to reduce the price.

Speed of sale can be important if the home is empty.  You’d rather not have the responsibility of tending an empty home for an extended time, right?

Value of Inspections

A preliminary inspection can alert you to problems so you can fix them ahead of time.  Eliminating problems ahead of time will improve your home’s value and Listing Price, too.

Inspections also give your marketing a boost.  You will be able to advertise that the property passed the inspection.  Buyers agents like to see pre-inspections.  They will be more inclined to show your property to potential buyers.  It shows Buyers that the Sellers are “pro-active”.  They take good care of the home and keep it maintained.

Marketing Options

Your Sellers Agent will offer you a range of marketing options.  We mentioned preparing the home and staging.  Real estate agents usually have a network of referrals, professional experts like painters, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and interior designers.   A well-maintained property may not need any help from these contractors.  Even so, if the home exterior is pink, your agent may suggest a better neutral color.  The new paint could help move the home quickly.

Then you’ll find out about ways to advertise.  MLS and large affiliate websites, blogs, photos, video tours, and printed flyers, among other tools.  Want to plan a couple of open houses where you can be away?  Add them to the list.

Risk Factors

Selling your home on your own can be risky.  Buyers agents steer clear of complicated transactions. Also, your home for sale may not draw the attention of solid buyers.  More importantly, your professional handles stacks of paperwork and keeps you out of legal hassles.  Bound by a code of ethics, Realtors (R) from the National Association of Realtors exercises the caution and discernment you need representing you.
