Why Hire a Real Estate Agent to Sell Your Home?

Hiring a real estate agent makes the process of selling a home much easier. In an agent-assisted sale, you’re more likely to achieve the price you desire and sell quickly. What other additional advantages are there to utilizing an agent to sell your house?

If you’re thinking about selling your property consider the following before you go it alone.

Selling Your Home with a Real Estate Agent

Sure, doing all the work yourself may save you money on the commission you would have paid a real estate agent. It may be helpful to understand real estate agents do a lot more than simply showing prospective buyers through your home.

If you choose a skilled real estate agent, they’ll take care of everything from the paperwork, negotiations, phone calls, manage deadlines and ultimately, the sale of the house on your terms.

Benefits of Hiring a Real Estate Agent to Sell Your Home

Knowledge of Home Selling

Selling your home isn’t something most homeowners do frequently. In fact, some homeowners will only go through the process of selling a few times in a lifetime. On the flip side, real estate agents do this for a living, which means they have far more experience in selling real estate. If you select an experienced Realtor, they will have hundreds or thousands of real estate transactions they’ve handled and therefore have more knowledge about the process that goes into it all than you do.

One of the major benefits to hiring a real estate agent to sell your home is that a good real estate agent will guide you through the process and make sure you’re comfortable each step of the way. Getting your home ready to sell and coordinating showings is just the tip of the iceberg in the selling process.

By employing an agent, you can ensure that you keep on top of things without always worrying about where you are in the process.

Experts of the Local Market

What is happening nationally may or may not be similar to your local real estate market. Even further, what’s happening in your neighborhood may be very different than the one next door or down the road.

There is a big difference between knowing the area where you live and having current in-depth knowledge of your area’s real estate market. Working with a top local real estate agent gives you access to a wealth of knowledge about your local housing market.

They have the resources and tools to provide you with data about current market conditions and explain what that means for the sale of your house. By having relevant, accurate and timely market information, you will be armed with the knowledge which may assist you in making choices that optimize your profit margin throughout the transaction.

Strategy for Pricing

Another advantage to hiring a real estate agent when selling your home is that they can help you correctly price your property. I can’t stress how important pricing a home right from the get go is if you want a successful sale. If you over price the home from the start, you will reduce the pool of potential buyers.

Overpriced homes are typically on the market much longer than competitively priced homes. As days on market build, buyers begin to question what is “wrong” with a home if it didn’t sell quickly.

Therefore, to expose your home to the maximum number of potential buyers you must arrive at a price that is both reasonable for the kind of home you’re selling and attractive to local purchasers.

You might be surprised what goes into pricing your home correctly. Many factors play a role including location, size of the home, how it compares to other similar properties and current market conditions. One of the reasons to hire a real estate agent to assist with pricing strategy is their knowledge  and experience about how your property compares to others combined wit local market conditions.

If you price it right you will maximize the value of your home and your return on one of the biggest investments you own.

Real Estate Marketing Knowhow

In addition to all the expertise and knowledge that a good agent brings to the table, the best real estate listing agents are outstanding marketing professionals.

They utilize professional photographers and videographers to showcase your property to ensure it stands-out online. They have their own website and social media channels which allow them to pro-actively market the best features of your home.

Also, top real estate agents leverage the latest digital marketing techniques and online real estate platforms to maximize visibility and exposure. Not only do they display your home’s best attributes but they also feature the lifestyle of the neighborhood both visually and through the showing description.

Since more than 90 percent of buyers view the property on-line as their first experience with your home, having a professional who knows how to market your home to appeal to as many qualified buyers as possible via multiple channels on-line and social media channels will lead to more offers and therefor a higher sales price.

Using an Already Existing Network

Another top reason to hire a real estate agent to sell your home is that you get to tap into their network of buyers as well as other real estate agents who could bring their buyers.

Why spend hundreds of hours and thousands of your dollars on extras such as videos, marketing and more when you could just hire a quality real estate agent with a large pool of buyer prospects who are looking for a home like yours. This can greatly speed up the process of selling your house and help you sell for more money.

Handling Paperwork

In today’s electronic world it may not seem like it, but there is a lot of paperwork when selling your home. The paperwork includes contracts, changes to contracts, homeowners disclosures, HOA disclosures, condominium documents, floor plans, applications and more!

A mistake on the paperwork could be costly. Then there are several key deadlines you need to meet in order to maintain a valid contract. Using a listing real estate agent to sell your house means having an experienced professional handling all the paperwork for you, they’ll keep track of deadlines and you informed throughout the process.

Negotiations and Closing

Negotiations start as soon as you receive the first offer. An advantage to having a real estate agent sell your home is that you get an experienced negotiator fighting for your best interest in the deal.

Most buyers will be using a buyer’s agent to represent their best interests. This means that you’ll be facing a trained real estate negotiator and you will want your own representation who will look out for your best interests.

The initial offer is just the beginning. There are conditions, contingencies and closing costs to consider. If you have a real estate agent negotiating on your behalf, they will make the process seem simple and stress-free.

Southwest Florida Golf Community Insights

Are you looking for the latest golf community insights for Southwest Florida? There are some notable trends in golf communities in our area. Most private country clubs fall into one of two categories.

There are bundled golf communities which means the golf membership is bundled or deeded to the property and your membership dues are apart of your annual community fees. There is no upfront initiation fee in a bundled golf community. Provided you purchase a property which includes a golf membership, you have immediate golf privileges. It’s important to note, in some bundled golf communities a property only includes a social membership.

The second type of golf membership is where the golf community requires an upfront initiation fee and then you pay annual membership dues as well as your community fees. In the past, most of the clubs collecting an upfront initiation fee dedicated a portion to equity which you would get back when you dropped your membership. There are very few clubs still offering equity memberships. They now require a non-refundable upfront initiation fee. Additionally, most of these clubs have multi-year waitlists.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of membership and community. With more than 150 golf communities in the area it is a challenge to navigate all the various options for golf membership. That’s where we come in. Our vast relationships with all the golf communities from Naples to Sarasota allow us to serve our clients by making the home-buying or selling process an easy and enjoyable one.

While it may seem overwhelming at first, once we know how often you play, other desired club amenities, property type and a price range we can help you narrow the list of clubs down to a handful that will potentially offer you the Florida golf lifestyle you are looking for.

Below you will find highlights for the latest real estate statistics for single-family golf homes and golf condos in our area.

Sarasota Housing Market Update

The latest Sarasota housing market reports showed 1,442 properties sold for just over $932.5 Million during May for the North Port, Sarasota, and Bradenton areas. Unlike the previous month when both single family home and condo sales year-over-year decreased 25 percent in Sarasota County, during May closed sales were only down slightly at 5.5 percent.

Similar to the previous two months, 57 percent of transactions were cash sales.  If you find yourself in a multiple bid situation, in most cases the seller will consider a cash offer a stronger offer than one with financing.

On another note, even though inventory remains historically low, 1,590 new properties hit the market during the month. Most importantly, inventory of single family homes increased 67.4 percent and condo inventory increased 27.8 percent during May.

However, it’s important to note, the median days to contract for both single family homes and condos remained at just 5 to 6 days. Once again, as new properties hit the market, they were snapped up quickly provided they were priced properly. As long as demand remains high and supply low, prices will continue to rise.

If you are planning to sell, the increased inventory may start to impact how high of a sales price you will be able to obtain depending on the community.

Sarasota Housing Market Report – Single Family Homes

May 2022 versus May 2021 Single Family Home Highlights:

• Median days on market fell to 6 days which was the same as last May and last month.
• Available inventory of single family homes ended May with 1.2 months’ supply of homes available for sale which was up 71.4 percent over this time last year.

Single family home prices showed a significant increases in the median sales price, up 21.6 percent when compared to last year at the same time. Even though industry experts continue to say growth will slow, we have yet to see that reflected in the actual local market data.

Sarasota Housing Market Report – Condos and Townhomes

May 2022 versus May 2021 Condo Highlights:

• Condo sales decreased 1.7 percent going from 541 real estate transactions down to 532 sales.
• Pending sales decreased 25.7 percent down from 517 last May to 384 this May.
• Inventory increased 27.8 percent up to 414 condos for sale compared to last May when there were only 324 units for sale.
• New listings increased from 437 up to 479 which was a 9.6 percent increase.
• Median days to contract remained at 5 days which was the same as April of this year as well as May of last year.
• Available inventory of condos ended May with 1 months’ supply of properties available for sale which was a 42.9 percent increase.

Unlike April, both new listings and inventory of condos increased. We now have a months’ supply of homes available for sale. While we are trending in the right direction, we’re still a ways away from a normal balanced market which would be a 6 to 7 months supply of housing.

Between closed sales and pending sales, inventory remains very low despite the new listings added. As a result, the median sales price continued it’s upward trend, ending the month with a 29 percent increase year-over year. Similar to single family homes, as long as inventory remains low, prices will continue to rise.

Bottom line, it remains a seller’s market for both condos and single family homes. So now would be a great time to cash in on the high buyer demand. You might be surprised to learn how much your home is worth in today’s market. What is my home worth…
