Is the service of a real estate agency worth it?


If you have started a project related to real estate, whether you are selling, buying, renting or renting it, we believe that you are familiar with the complexity of the situation. Advertising is quite problematic, because today we are bombarded with a large amount of ads and commercials, and people have already learned to ignore these things to some extent.

Without good advertising and supporting materials in the buying process, it is almost impossible to get a serious buyer or seller. Finding someone who is truly interested becomes mission impossible and most people give up on the whole idea pretty quickly.

Consider working with a real estate agency! This could be the solution to all your problems and the answer to the question – how can I do this process quickly and painlessly?

How do real estate agencies work?

A real estate agency is like an internet search engine, but only for real estate. They already have their own database of properties for sale, purchase and rent and can automatically connect you with someone in no time. Each agency has its own agreements regarding advertising, and they can usually provide a much better service, that is, an offer for the same price.

Don't be embarrassed and put off by the idea of ​​needing someone to help you with this process, as most people really aren't trained in these types of transactions. As much as we know the “market” and have experience, we do not have economic training and information about the current course of real estate on the market. This is where the agency and professionals can help us a lot.

Advantages of a real estate agency

There are several reasons why hiring a real estate agency is an advantage over independent engagement, and these are:

  • Experience and knowledge in the real estate brokerage business
  • Active monitoring of real estate prices and knowledge of the real estate market
  • Security and due diligence of paperwork and real estate condition
  • Mediation between buyer and seller to mutual satisfaction
  • Knowledge of the law
  • Solving administrative and legal procedures, and buying real estate without wasting time and stress

Sale or purchase of real estate

If you are selling real estate, you can agree on a realistic price with the agent. You can communicate all your wishes and ideas and you must transparently present to him what you want as an outcome. All you have to do is find an agency and give them all the necessary information, and they will present it in the right way.

If you want to buy or rent real estate, the process is even simpler. Again, you must communicate all your wishes and ideas. The agent will collect papers about those properties that seem attractive and through the conversation you will reach a new solution or choose potential candidates. In good agencies, you get the opportunity to visit the property several times, sometimes alone, and even to meet the landlords if they do not wish to be anonymous. Otherwise, you should demand maximum transparency.

The agency must conduct a transaction in which both parties will be satisfied, so you know that, regardless of which side of the offer you are on, the solution must also be in your favor. It is much easier to solve legal problems if they arise precisely because of the mediation of the agency.

How much do I have to invest in working with the agency?

The commission charged by the agencies varies from agency to agency, generally the amount ranges from 2 to 6%, and it can be agreed with both the seller and the buyer. As a rule, this percentage is calculated from the purchase price, and is charged after the sale is completed. It would be a good idea to discuss this in detail before making any commitment to work with the agency.

The ideal agency is not complicated to find. First you need to ask around and make a list of interesting agencies. You can get ideas from friends, through forums and the Internet, from people who have had a similar experience… Try to select 5-6 agencies that have caught your eye, and it is not a bad idea to choose one that is relatively close to your city of residence.

Send the agencies an email or call them, some people like to visit the agency in person, and explain your situation to them. See how much their commissions are, how they work and whether you like their offer. Make sure you find an agency you trust, preferably one you've already heard from someone. Don't trust ads and similar anonymous confessions too much. Buying and selling real estate is not a place for any insecurities!
