As the Norwegian maxim says, “experience is the best teacher, but the tuition is high.” It also applies to the experience of buying and selling a home. Most people, while sitting on the outside, consider home buying and selling to be a simple process. They think that the process is simple, and you have to find a buyer, negotiate the terms, and close the deal. Whereas, the truth is that the entire process is much more complex, and only an experienced realtor can save your time, money, and energy.
Even an experienced homeowner isn't fully equipped to handle the sale on their own. One needs an experienced realtor by their side to help them with the process. But often, homeowners make the mistake of hiring an inexperienced realtor. This not only drains their finances but also makes the sale vulnerable to backfiring.
Here are some reasons why using an experienced Vancouver realtor is better than using an inexperienced one.
1. Dollars Are in the Details
An experienced Vancouver real estate agent, will know the ins and outs of a transaction. Most new agents do bother going through the details and end up hurting the deal. For instance, if an inexperienced agent forgets to read the details listed in an agreement, the chances are that they might have to bear additional costs. Similarly, most builder contracts don't cover certain expenses. Their lawyers craft such agreements that make paying for the title policy a buyer's decision. Having someone with a keen eye can help you stay away from such situations.
2. Negotiations
Inexperienced agents fail during talks. They approach the other party from an aggressive position and try to make the most out of them. In this case, an experienced realtor can take care of things and negotiate terms that are better for both parties. When it comes to residential negotiations, there are many protections. There are option periods, appraisals, inspections, and other conditions. All these things buffer the risk of one party dominating the other. That's why is it essential to have some who understands things and negotiates professionally.
3. Un-invested
Real estate in an expensive industry. In most deals, the primary owner of the company takes most of the commission; they support you in advertising, marketing, and staging the property. New agents lack the resources to help you in such situations. An agent with experience is going to be fully invested in serving you as a client. Most agents go out of business because they don’t have finances to work on client-oriented services.
