8 Reasons why you can’t sell / purchase your property successfully without the existence of a property negotiator / agent.
1. Professional.
It is always recommended that both buyer & seller should engage a registered
real estate negotiators (REN) or agents (REA) when it comes to purchase or
sell a property. This would allow the whole process to go through in a fair and
transparent way with both sides’ interests to be taken care of.
All REN & REA are required to be registered with the authorities, and they are
governed and bound by a code of conduct throughout the entire sales
process. So, both buyer & seller will be assured of quality service from the
appointed negotiators / agents with less worries for unscrupulous agents.
2. Safety Measures.
Negotiators / agents will need to filter their client before going for viewing. In
this way, negotiators / agents will get to know more details about what their
clients need and at the same time to ensure the safety of the seller at home as well.
With the appointed registered negotiators / agents, your earnest deposit will
be secured under the stakeholder name which is the registered property
agency, so both buyer & seller will be assured of the money secured in the
stakeholder account, rather than to deposit it under any unauthorized person
account.
3. Price Negotiation.
Seller always want to sell their property as high price as possible while buyer
always want to buy at the lowest price possible. This is happening all the time
no matter the economy is good or bad. This is why 50% of the deal can’t go
through successfully without the existence of negotiators / agents. Price
negotiation involved a lot of emotional aspect in order to close successfully.
That is why the real estate negotiators / agents job is to come-in to remove all
this emotional aspect, handling objections & negotiate for a fairer price to
satisfy both party.
4. Marketing.
For the sellers, their appointed negotiators / agents will have the exact know-
how of marketing the particular property aggressively in all forms of marketing
media such as social media, property web portal, flyers, newspaper
advertisement, property magazines, solicit calls from interested parties, host
open houses, network with other agents & agencies who may have
prospective buyers.
For buyers, their negotiators / agents will have easy access to all the
properties that have been listed by other agents; they can help to track down
properties that meet the list of criteria they’ve been given, and set up all the
necessary appointments. Above all, they are skilled at keeping up good
relationships on both sides.
