Why is it worth using services of a real estate agent?

The real estate agency service is primarily dedicated to people who do not have enough time or do not wish to deal with the entire process of selling, renting, or looking for a real estate on their own. However, there are many reasons why people worldwide choose to use the services of real estate agents.

In developed countries, more and more people are finding that entrusting any tasks in which they are not specialists to professionals is a wise move. They concentrate on the areas in which they have the most knowledge and experience, especially if mistakes or financial losses in other areas could have serious consequences.

Most people handle real estate transactions only once or a few times in their lives. In contrast, an experienced real estate agent handles dozens of such transactions in a single year and, depending on seniority, may have several hundred transactions under his belt. This experience makes a difference in terms of handling sales and rental processes and knowledge of both typical and unusual situations.

This includes not only the psychology of the transacting parties and the associated tensions and emotions, but also the legal and technical aspects of real estate.

A competent real estate agent can perform a number of activities that significantly facilitate the process of selling, buying, renting or leasing a property. The agent will:

• advise and help you prepare your property for presentation on the market.
• carefully select the offers according to the client's expectations, using professional tools and programs.
• verify the identity and interest of potential clients, arranging appointments and assisting in the viewing of the property.
• provide access to the property at various times, adapting to clients' schedules.
• assist in negotiations to agree the terms of the transaction, arranging meetings between the parties.
• check the legal status of the property and indicate which documents are necessary for a successful transaction.
• help to obtain missing documents.
• provide you with a contact for a qualified credit intermediary based on years of experience.
• suggest cooperation with a reputable notary office that offers favourable terms and legal support.

It is worth noting that both credit intermediaries and notaries, serving real estate agency clients, are more committed and willing to provide additional, free advice related to the transaction. This is due to the long-term cooperation and greater trust towards clients using real estate agency services.

In conclusion, taking into account the above arguments, there is no doubt that it is worth using the services of a real estate agent to make the process of selling, buying, renting or leasing real estate much easier.
