Many buyers and sellers are cautious about working with a real estate agent to acquire or sell a property. However, it is important to bear in mind that a purchase-sale transaction involves many details and requires the participation of several specialists in various topics, especially if the buyer is a foreigner or if the purchase is made through mortgage financing.

7 Reasons to Work with a Real Estate Agent
7 Reasons to Work with a Real Estate Agent

Here are some important considerations:

  1. The Real Estate Agent is a licensed professional. This means, for their peace of mind, that the performance of their work must be done within the legal framework of the department that governs the professions. Failure to do so puts your license at risk.
  2. It is a facilitator able to deal with all parts of the process, as well as with the required documentation and ensure that the contract times are met. In addition, he is not interested in you buying in a private house or in a specific project, but in the one that best suits your needs and makes you happier, or represents a good investment opportunity.
  3. He is a negotiator who knows the environment and works for the benefit of his client trying to obtain and negotiate the greatest qualitative and quantitative advantages within the transaction. Your interest is to achieve customer satisfaction through a successful transaction that meets their expectations.
  4. It has the specialist technical knowledge to obtain price comparables on similar properties, as well as many details related to properties and market behaviour.
  5. You have access to specialized professional portals where all properties for sale are published (Multiple Listing Services) and to which all licensed professionals members of the Miami Association of Realtors have access, which also implies that you can advertise the sale of a property.
  6. He’s a promoter. When selling your house, in addition to advertising it on the centralized portal, you develop a whole marketing management in other media and through other colleague agents, ensure that your client gets the best fair price for your house, interview potential buyers and filter and coordinate visits only with those interested who are pre-qualified for the purchase. Avoiding visits from curious people or people who do not have the ability to buy saving you time and wear.
  7. He is a diligent representative. When it comes to helping you buy your home, it will search for properties that meet the characteristics you need, at the price you are able to afford, make appointments, and keep you informed of new properties that are coming to market with similar characteristics. And best of all, the commission is borne by the seller, since he is the most interested in selling the property.
