Everyone wants the best possible price with the least risk. To achieve that it is crucial that you select the right real estate agent to handle your sale.
The most dangerous way to select an agent is to make a superficial price decision. That is, select the agent who charges the least, or who quotes the highest selling price to you.
Invariably, the agent quoting the highest sale price is doing so to get the listing. It is about them and their outcome, not yours. These same agents will bait buyers with a lower price to attract them to the property. And then they will push you down on price throughout the campaign, telling you “the market is the market”.
Especially if they tell you auction is the best way to proceed. Because in Noosa, it isn’t.
Invariably, the agent quoting the lowest commission is desperate for a listing. Again, focused on their outcome, not yours. Devoid of negotiation skills they will also act as an order taker from the buyer, rather than work to get a higher price, telling you that’s the market value.
So in choosing an agent, we recommend you look at the agent section on realestate.com.au.
Do a search of your suburb to see who is selling there. Look at how many properties they have sold in total in the past year.
But it is not just about the numbers. It is important you also look at their reviews - not just how many they have but what real clients actually say about the agent.
You want an agent that doesn’t just claim to be great, but one whose clients say they are. ____________
