Why Hire A Agent

How the NJ MLS and a qualified agent are worth every penny

When a homeowner decides to sell put their home up for sale, they will most likely be encountering a lengthy process in which knowledge and negotiation tactics will be necessary. Being that the present market is in favor of buyers, homeowners wishing to sell their homes need to know the ins and outs of marketing in order to have a successful sale. The best thing a homeowner wishing to sell their home can do is to hire a professional real estate  agent who has a vast knowledge of the market and can sell their home quickly and for the highest price. In addition, an agent who is a member of the NJ MLS can provide more exposure for the property to other participating agents and likely sell the home faster.

The following are 7 reasons to hire a NJ MLS Realtor:

Realtors are experts in their field.

Much training and certification is involved with becoming a Realtor. The average homeowner lacks the experience and understanding of the market that is provided by a licensed agent, as they can enter a home and immediately suggest simple improvements that can be made to make the house more attractive and sellable. Examples of this can be painting or decluttering, things that can often be overlooked by the homeowner.

Realtors have access to enhanced tools.

Databases such as the New Jersey Multiple Listing Service (NJ MLS) and Real Estate related websites can provide more exposure and far-reaching access to market the home for sale. Millions of homes are listed through these mediums in comparison to just thousands on for-sale-by-owner sites.

Realtors can pre-screen potential buyers.

You may not know who is entering your home for a showing or an open house, and this can be a very dangerous thing. Many unsuspecting homeowners are robbed when they least expect it, many times from the most unsuspecting people. A professional Realtor using the NJ MLS can assist in the pre-screening of potential purchasers, making sure they are qualified financially and of good overall character.

Realtors know the laws.

Qualified agents are extensively trained and fully aware of liability issues that can affect the homeowner or the sale of the home. Owners wishing to sell on their own and work directly with buyers may not have the proper knowledge needed to protect themselves from potentially impending lawsuits.

Realtors know the market.

Selling your home can be one of the most daunting and stressful tasks you will likely encounter. When you choose to hire a NJ Real Estate  agent, you are making a wise investment because they are able to provide guidance and know the proper negotiation techniques to sell your home. Also, they are members of the NJ MLS which can showcase your home to tens of thousands of agents throughout the state.

Realtors are skilled negotiators.

Part of the training required to become an agent involves heavy emphasis on negotiation and the best tactics to use during a home transaction. These are skills practiced on a daily basis and with every deal, so a Realtor is more likely to get the best deal for the homeowner in comparison to the homeowners themselves.

Realtors have your best interest in mind.

It is an agent’s responsibility to do any and all he or she can to provide the most exposure for a home to the most amount of buyers and other agents in an effort to sell the home in the shortest amount of time while yielding the biggest profit for the homeowner. In this way, hiring a professional NJ Real Estate agent can prove to be the best investment you can make for your home and yourself.
