Why You Need A Real Estate Agent For A Purchase Transaction

May 8, 2019 Uncategorized

Many professionals are involved in property purchase transactions. Among them are the real estate agents. Like most people, you probably don’t know the role of real estate agents and why you should involve them in your next property deal. The agents offer a broad range of services and facilitate the transaction in the shortest time possible. The commission advance that you pay them cannot match the skills and wise counsel that they provide during the property buying process. Here are more benefits of engaging a real estate agent when purchasing real estate.

1. Pricing expertise

An experienced real estate agent can estimate the closing price of a property beforehand and guide your expectations. Agents know the property values in your preferred neighborhood and can spot an attractive deal fast. They also have a better understanding of the property market. While you can take days or weeks comparing property prices, the real estate agent needs only a few minutes to find a suitable one for you. The agent will also help you figure out if a property is under or overpriced.

The real estate agent will provide all the details you need to make an informed decision. If you want to know about the neighborhood, the agent can provide all the features you need. They have facilitated hundreds of transactions and their pricing expertise can come in handy when buying a property.

2. Negotiation Skills

Direct negotiation between the property buyer and the seller rarely bears fruits. A real estate agent understands your needs as the property buyer and will help you negotiate for a reasonable price. The agent establishes a personal relationship with you and the property seller to facilitate negotiation and seal the deal.

Your agent seeks to protect your interests. They can communicate your concerns and try to find common ground with the seller’s agent. Over the years, the agent has gathered the necessary experience to negotiate for better prices without making the seller feel like they are getting less than the right amount. Sometimes the seller can reject an offer just because he or she doesn’t like you. Involving the agent can help facilitate the transaction even when dealing with problematic sellers.

3. Spotting Areas That Need Repairs

It is quite hard for an inexperienced property buyer to identify hidden defects that need attention. An experienced real estate agent is quick to spot areas that need repair. They can also recommend professionals for inspection to identify any structural issues. The inspection reports may be hard for you to understand, but the real estate agent knows what to check before the transaction. They will let you know about any structural issues that need fixing and negotiate for the repair costs.

4. Market Information

Very many factors affect the real estate market, and this makes it hard for a non-professional to determine the market conditions. Real estate agents provide information about the average cost per square foot, closing price, properties available for sale and the demand for specific properties. This will enable you to make a sound decision. The agent can predict the future of the real estate market and guide you to make a sound investment decision.

Buying a property is a complicated process. Involving a real estate agent can help you find an ideal property within the shortest time. If you want to invest in real estate, it is advisable to have a real estate agent on your side during the purchase transaction.
