Why we think it’s important to work with a real estate professional
Today’s ever changing market is not easy to navigate. With rates changing at such a fast pace and the influx of buyers, transactions are more complicated than ever. Agents receive specific training on how to negotiate and analyze deals. Their training provides the knowledge needed to successfully work through all steps of a transaction.
Firstly, negotiations involve constant communication with all members in a transaction. Trying to negotiate and make both parties happy requires compromising. For those listing their own property, it can be difficult for them to make a disconnect between the sale and their home.
Secondly, it’s very possible that you’ll incorrectly price your home. Agents have specific procedures that they complete prior to setting a list price. An agent will do their due diligence by running comparative market analysis. A CMA is a tool used by agents to estimate the value of a specific property by evaluating similar ones that have recently sold in the same area. Most importantly, agents use their skills to get you top dollar.
Lastly, agents have the tools necessary to market your home to a large audience. On the David Greene Team, we are sure to do everything in our power to market your home.
