Buy-Sell-Rent With Peace of Mind When Using the Service of a Real Estate Agent

Buy and selling property, whether for residency or for investment, can be accomplished through many channels. With the available technologies tailoring to various needs, individuals with some enthusiasm to look up information will not find it difficult to do their own research. Website reviews of properties can be easily accessed on the smartphone.

However, there is a trade-off; the process comes at the expense of one’s time and success varies with one’s experience and knowledge. On the other hand, property agents with expertise will filter through the properties based on our preference, help with document processing, and provide analyses of prospective locations, saving us a great deal of time.

One could do everything by himself when looking to sell or rent out a house or condominium room. The tenant can be reached by announcing the vacancy on free websites, on personal Facebooks and on various condominium-focused pages.

One would need to take photographs, answer calls, schedule appointments with potential tenants, give the tenants a tour of the property, and draft the purchase or rent agreements. These errands take significant time to do and a tenant might not be found in a timely manner; 1-3 months, or more, may be required before a tenant moves in. This represents a loss of opportunity.

The chance of having a more speedy tenant-finding process and move-in can be improved if one decides to enlist the service of a seasoned agent. Still, careful consideration is warranted when making the decision to use a real estate agent to help manage one’s property or to help one find a residence. A level of trust will be necessary, as the agent represents an individual in running all required errands. Thus, one should foster an understanding of the roles and limitations of a real estate agent, and the tell-tale indicators for a good agent.

Roles and Responsibilities of a Real Estate Agent
Most real estate agents are professionals with area-specific experiences, owing to their extensive years within the properties circle and the training they have had. The agents are thus able to turn matters that are difficult or confusing for most clients into easy affairs. Examples include the documents that are required, a location’s growth rate, land prices, investment models and positive factors one should look for when adding a property to one’s investment portfolio. The real estate agent will handle all affairs for the new investor or the person looking for a residence, even though they might not be acquainted to the purchasing or rental process.

What Will a Good Agent Do For You?
â€Ē For Those Looking to Sell or Rent Out
  1. Provide counsel on pricing, based on an agent’s database of the market, so the price would neither be set too low or too high.
  2. Arrange marketing through different modes of communication so the client’s property would be exposed to the target group, ultimately leading to a successful sale.
  3. Find and filter through quality would-be buyers, using the agent’s own database and its network of trade partners.
  4. Schedule visits to the property and provide comprehensive information in order to maintain the interest of the would-be buyer or tenant.
  5. Run the paperwork errands with state agencies and manage all required documents, such as the sale and purchase agreement and the lease agreement.

Plus Tips
We may choose to let an agent represent us and carry out all proceedings, including paperwork and finances, as we may have the need to tend to other errands at the time. Before giving authority to the agent, we should take the following precautions to prevent damage or consequences from unforeseen future developments:


  1. It is recommended that the intended use of the copy be clearly specified when certifying a photocopy of a document, in order to prevent misuse for other purposes.
  2. Tenants should make sure the reservation money, the deposit and the rent are promptly wired to the owner of the room.
    â€Ē In the case of renting through a property agent company that also provide service in the payments aspect, the company will issue a booking fee form with the company’s logo and contact address. This is used as evidence when the company’s staff accepts payment on behalf of the room owner. Once the payment is made, a receipt must always be issued.
    â€Ē In the case of renting through free agents, one should ask for similar documents as evidence or ask for the agent’s signed photocopy of her ID card, which should contain the details of the payment.
  3. When wiring or writing a cheque for the change of ownership fee or other processing fees, it is recommended that the destination account be one that belongs to a company instead of an individual. Even if the individual is trusted, one should request a clear proof of payment for the respective processing fee.

    4. The aforementioned tips should help reinforce your understanding of real estate agents and allow you to choose the agent that best suits you. When making the selection, you should also consider the credibility and experience of the agent. Fraud is a possibility when using an agent that is not registered as a company or one that does not possess the correct permit. I is advisable to study an agent’s details before enlisting her service.
