Selling Tips
Why choose a Real
Estate Agent and Especially us
There has been a lot written why Real Estate
Agents charge as they do, it seems everyone knows more about the Real Estate
industry that those that work on it. You can find articles in any newspaper
and on any For Sale by Owner site on reasons why you should not use a Realtor®.
You can talk to anyone and they
will tell you:
-
“it is easy to sell a house
just put a sign up”.
-
“ how difficult can it be
to sell your condominium apartment?”
-
“a
lot of those Real Estate agents do not even speak the language properly”.
Then you may hear stories such
as:
-
“My
Real Estate Agent did nothing for me, placed the sign and we never saw
him again, he was too busy to get listing”
-
“Why are we charged so much? Competition
laws do not seem to break into the Real Estate Establishment Fortress.
Commissions have not come down at all”
-
“All Real Estate agents are equals; I will
get a flat fee agent or a discount broker
-
“I will interview as many agents I can to
see which one is the best (meaning the cheapest)”
Or read articles (they all
have the same story), the following is an extract from an article which
I had the pleasure to read:
“I've dealt with a half-dozen realtors during
the past seven years, while selling two homes and buying three others. Last
year, for instance, we sold a home in the $500,000 price range in the town
of “a city” . It wasn't a perfect home,a typical suburban place with too
much garage, not enough yard but a very nice one, including a full theatre
room and a fantastic home office. We wanted to sell to make a move to “another
town”, a little town in the northwest corner of “ a regional town”. One
realtor we used to sell it was utterly incapable of articulating how our
house differed from nearby, newer ones that basically were thrown up overnight
and had cheap interior finishing. Another was clueless as to how to market
a house in our price range, printing a cheap single-sheet black-and-white
information flyer. (Our experiences were generally better on the buy side,
except for one seller's agent who sought to discredit a skilled building
inspector we hired who found that the foundation of a circa-1880 home was
a rat's nest of rotting wood, faulty concrete, falling insulation and, well,
rats' nests.)
Let me say that the individual who wrote this
article had no clue whatsoever on how to sell a house. I will agreed with
his statement as far as he may claim that all agents are not equals, it
is true that most of the new comers are eager for business and have little
knowledge on how the market works, but to generalize is like saying that
all cars are the same and all mechanics are crooks, hence get a wrench and
start working on your car because you are better than any of the mechanics.
But the real knock on realtors is a bit of
simple economics that many people don't understand. Whether you're buying
or selling, they rarely work in your interest. For the buyer, a realtor
may seem like a dream—a "free" home-finding chauffeur, who then negotiates
the best possible price. But the service isn't free—the sellers have likely
factored the buyer's agent's 2.5 percent or 3 percent of the take into their
price. Moreover, it's in the buyer's agent's interest to have you pay the
most that you're willing to pay, after all, the higher the price, the larger
their commission.”
“Economics”
-
We are taxed at 8% provincial and 6% federally.
-
Average commission for selling goods stands
at 10%.
-
Average gross margin of food stores stands
at 25% and for clothing stores at 50%.
Those are expensive fees not the 5% which is
split between two real estate salespersons who will have to pay, two brokerage
houses and three real estate boards, the local, provincial and federal plus
be insured to protect those that we help.
Let’s make a quick calculation on an average
$ 300,000 house done with a real estate agent it will cost an average of
$ 15,000.

“A realtor rarely works
in your interest”????
The average homeowner has a different point
of view (emotional) of his house. It is natural to think your property is
better and more valuable than others in the street, hence more often than
not the average homeowner demands a price for his house which is not realistic.
A Real Estate Agent to be able to earn his money has to value the property
to make it competitive and be able to negotiate the price to get as much
as possible. After all is in the interest of the person selling the house
that the house gets sold, right??? The price is dictated by the market not
the Agent, if the property is not marketable will not sell, the individual
that wrote the article placed a value on the antiquity of his house and
wanted more than a new one, what did he have to offer to make it more expensive???
Maybe because he owned it???
