Can Real Estate agents get you a higher price than selling privately?

Image
Not all Real Estate Agents are the same Not necessarily, is the short answer. There are many factors to consider before this question can be truly answered. Where they advertise the property, the actual advertisement, their pricing of the property, how they represent the price, how they handle the enquiry, how they conduct the inspections and how they negotiate with the purchaser are the main ones. Not all Agents are the same. As well as these, if you do decide to appoint an Agent, you want one who listens to you, one you feel you can trust, one you like, one you feel is experienced and competent and one that communicates often with you throughout the selling process. Before appointing an Agent, it is good practise to interview at least 3 local Agents. It's like getting a quote from a tradesman, normally you obtain 3.

    There could be several reasons why you are not receiving enquiries on your rental property. No enquiries means no inspections which means no tenant which then means loss of income. It's a Secret. The first question that comes to mind is "Where is it advertised?" Is it being advertised on the major real estate sites? Tenants cannot enquire if they are unaware it is available for rent. Gumtree is certainly not the first place that potential tenants would visit to find a rental property. That's their "go to" site when they are looking to purchase an item, at hopefully a bargain price. Let ReDIY tell all the tenants that the property is available to rent now. Realestate.com.au and Domain.com.au are the largest Residential Real Estate Sites in Australia. It is mostly Realestate, however, Domain does have a monopoly in some states. These 2...

  So you have decided sell your property privately in Australia and need to know the best way to do so?     So, you have decided that you would like to sell your property? Well there are 2 paths you can go down, to do this. You can choose to select a traditional agent and pay through the nose with advertising and commissions or you can sell the property yourself.

Ask yourself this question…. does anyone besides yourself deserve to have 3% stake in your number 1 asset for very little work? The answer is No and especially not a...
