When you decide to sell a property, especially when you have a good real estate in your hands, it is necessary to establish if you want to sell alone, or if you want to use the services of a real estate agent. Initially, any of those methods seems good enough, with the difference that, from the two methods, the majority of sellers would like to sell alone, to avoid the commissions generated by those agents.

If you still decide to sell using a real estate agent, you need to find an agency that deserves its commission, especially if the commission is high. Don’t forget that this commission influences the price of the real estate directly. The agency promises that it would get better price for your real estate, but if they are only able to find a price with 2% better, while they are taking 5% as commission.

Well, it is not only about getting a better price. The real estate agent is supposed to take care of the paperwork implied in this transaction as well as talking with all the parts implied and with the authorities. This is why when searching for houses for sale in Milton using a real estate agent is not only a matter of getting a better price, but also about saving some time.

You can sign an exclusive contract, which means that you will be represented by a single person. This means more attention from the respective agent, but also less changes of selling. The interest of the client is to be represented better, but when the skills of only one agent are used to sell a property, it is better to trust that agent more than anybody else. Remember that it is against the law to sign a contract with another agent as long as you have signed an exclusivity contract, but if your current agent is not taking care of your case, as he should, you should wave a clause in the contract, if this exists.
