ON HOW TO CHOOSE
YOUR REAL ESTATE
AGENT
In a market like this, you could be forgiven for assuming anyone
will buy your home at a good price. But there is a big difference
between a good price and a great price and that normally comes
down to your agent.
Here are my top three tips on why choosing a Harcourts
Holmwood agent is the best way to sell your home:
1. SELL FOR A PREMIUM. It is VERY important to choose the
right real estate agent to represent you and achieve the best
for you in either buying or selling a home. Analysis by the Real
Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) show that selling your
property through a real estate agent achieves a premium of
15% above those selling privately.
2. ACCESS TO BUYERS. Every agent will have several buyers they
are working with, and if you work with a Harcourts Holmwood
agent in particular, you don’t just get their database, you get
the buyer database of more than 500 agents who form part
of the Harcourts network. In addition, their list of connections
will include strong relationships with other real estate agents,
mortgage specialists, as well as the many other parties involved
in the real estate industry.
3. NEGOTIATION SKILLS. As a seller you want to sell your home
for a premium price, and the buyer wants to buy your home for
a bargain price. Your agent is there to bridge that gap, and it is
not as easy as we make it seem! At Holmwood we provide our
agents weekly negotiation training and have secured mentoring
from international experts in negotiation techniques, to make sure
our team are the best in the business. This, combined with a great
management team who are always available to assist, ensure the
best results are achieved for our clients.
These are just a few of the reasons why enlisting the help of a
real estate agent is a more effective option when it comes to
selling your biggest asset. It is true that no one has a crystal ball to
predict the future, but I can guarantee, if you do your research you
will agree that choosing a Holmwood real estate agent will bring
you the best results.
I’m immensely proud of our people and their exceptional service
to our clients. If you are thinking of making a real estate decision,
give me, or one of our agents a call today!
