Selling a house or an apartment:(piccadilly grand)


the importance of the real estate agency


Selling a home is a complex and time-consuming task. However, it is possible to delegate this mission to a real estate agent. Why should you opt for this solution? How to choose the right agency?


The missions and advantages of a real estate agency


All missions arising from the sale of an apartment or a house are carried out by the real estate agent. Thanks to him, the owner of the property saves not only time, but also money. To sell a property , it is essential to write and publish an advertisement in the press or on websites.


However, this type of operation generates significant expenses. The real estate agent offers you a distribution of your ad at a lower cost. He has the option of posting it on classic ad sites and other professional-only websites. In order to boost the visibility of your ad, the agency will also distribute it through leaflets, in magazines as well as in its window.


But before thinking about the distribution of your ad, it is important to estimate the value of your property. However, to achieve this goal, it is essential to have a solid knowledge of the real estate market. Indeed, certain criteria must be taken into account to best estimate the sale price of a home: its geographical area, its condition, its different characteristics, its exposure, etc.


The real estate agent is able to give you an objective value for your house or apartment, taking into account all these parameters. In addition, he can access a database listing the actual market prices. It should be noted, however, that his commission is calculated based on the estimated price. Thus, if the latter is high, the agent's commission will also be high. Rest assured, the agent will not take the risk of overvaluing your accommodation. A price that is too high is likely to slow down the sale. Other missions are also the responsibility of the agent: organization of visits to the property sold, constitution of the file of compulsory technical diagnoses, etc.


Choosing a real estate agency: best practices to adopt


To find the agency that will perfectly meet your expectations, you can consult websites specializing in the publication of the ranking of real estate agencies in France . Consulting those around you is a solution to consider. Indeed, it is possible that the members of your family, your colleagues or your friends, have recently called upon the services of an agency for a transaction.


Thus, thanks to word of mouth, you will directly have an overview of the professionalism of the agencies solicited. It is also possible to choose between an agency integrated into a large network or a small local agency. It is best to entrust the sale of your house or apartment to a small agency. Indeed, the latter generally knows the local market better.


Also note that real estate agents will offer you 2 types of mandates: exclusive and simple. If you opt for the first, you can only delegate the sale of your property to a single real estate agency. On the other hand, with a simple mandate, you are free to entrust your property to several competing agencies.


However, by opting for this solution, you risk arousing the suspicions of future buyers. Indeed, they will think that you are having trouble selling your property. It is therefore more advisable to resort to the exclusive mandate.


On the other hand, if you wish to acquire real estate, you can use the comparison tool for real estate loans integrated into the site of the broker Credit Exchange. Thus, you will benefit from an offer adapted to your requirements. (Piccadilly grand singapore)
