The bottom line
01
Half knowledge is dangerous
While there are a lot of tools on the internet for buyers and sellers that can be leveraged to research for property prices , trends , property valuations and investment returns , there is however , no comparison for these so-called useful tools with the knowledge of an agent who has acquired the knowledge of the real estate scenario steadily , by being in the market and has witnessed changes in the market , price fluctuations and all types of situations that may arise while a sale is in process .
04
Spreading the word
Selling a property means spreading out the word in the real estate market , you may use property portals to list if you want to sell without appointing a broker . But is that enough to sell the property at the desired price within the required timeframe ? While there are thousands of properties listed on these portals your property will not get the required exposure .
Agents have a large network of pre-approved buyers , ready investors , online tools and paid subscriptions on popular property portals that will keep your property on the top and always visible to potential buyers . Agents also have large email lists accumulated over the years and will get the property viral with an email blast to the distribution list . An agent has access to a professional photographer and a team of marketing experts that will showcase the best features of the property in a professional manner and effectively tell the property ’ s story resulting in maximum exposure and quick offers .
