Why Hiring an Agent Is the Key to Buying or Selling a House
by Alex Lee

Buying or selling a home can be an exciting time. Whether you are upgrading to more space or relocating for work, the homebuying and selling process open a world of opportunities. However, this can also be a stressful and emotional time for many people.

Budgets, time constraints and the realities of the housing market can put stress on nearly anyone. For this reason, it is best to allow a professional to help you through the process. Here are three top reasons why hiring a real estate agent is the key to buying or selling your house.

Real Estate Agents Specialize in Networking

When selling a home, you want to reach as many buyers as possible. When buying a home, you want to see as many options as possible. While it is possible to reach a considerable amount of buyers on your own using the internet, a seasoned agent will have a much larger network. In addition, real estate agents understand the complexities of marketing to reach your target buyers. When searching for a home, agents also have a network of other agents to turn to, access to MLS (multiple listing service) and other tools to find homes you may have otherwise missed.

Expert Negotiations

Sellers and buyers are often at odds in the housing market. Sellers hope for top dollar for their homes. Buyers, on the other hand, want the best price possible for their next house. When facing negotiations without a professional at your side, you are immediately at a disadvantage. An experienced real estate agent will know how to reach a deal that best benefits you. Even more importantly, a good agent can help you make a financially sound decision, even when emotions are running high.

Work Smart, Not Hard

Buying or selling a home is a full-time job. Whether it’s being available for dozens of showings or scouring your desired area for a new house, there is no doubt that buying or selling a home is time-consuming. Unfortunately, most people can’t afford to put their life or careers on hold during the homebuying or selling process. A real estate agent, on the other hand, dedicates their time and attention to their clients. Buying or selling a home is their full-time job. This saves buyers and sellers alike a considerable amount of personal time in the process.

While it may be tempting to face the homebuying or selling process solo, nothing compares to working with a qualified professional. From time to money, an experienced agent will have a solid track record of saving both. Whether it is your first or fifth home, consider entrusting a real estate agent the next time you are buying or selling your house.
