Estate agents act as the middleman between a buyer and a seller. They are the ones that are commissioned to sell a variety of immovable properties. These properties come in the form of houses, townhouse, flats, farms, factories, shops and offices. You can find estate agents in your local area.
In order to create a valid market plan for any property, the estate agent must have the full co-operation of the seller. Prior to this, the estate agent will usually receive a mandate or a written instruction from the seller. This written instruction will inform the estate agent of an expected price range as well as an anticipated time and date of sale.
The estate agent must then been made aware of the property’s state in order to adopt an objective approach.
This approach should point out both the good points and the strong selling features of the property in question. These selling features may include the likes of the properties location, whether it has just been refurbished, when it has any added extensions, the property’s current state and most importantly, the likely market value of the property.
The estate agent must liaise with both the seller and the buyer in order to try and make a sale. Some buyers may make an offer that the estate agent will then have to reveal to the seller; this offer could be a little lower than the stated price, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that the seller won’t accept it.
When buying a property it always wise to put in a low offer first as most properties appear on the market for a little more than the actual property’s value.
It is important for the estate agent to find a buyer that suits the property in question down to a T; they should therefore think about the local amenities surrounding the property in order to try and upsell the house, apartment, town house or studio flat.
