Are you looking to buy or sell a home? The first thing you should do is figure out who will represent you throughout the process. Some people choose to represent themselves, but if you’re not experienced in the buying and selling process, you will likely want to hire a real estate agent.
You might notice that some real estate agents work alone, while others work as a team. You can get a great buying or selling experience either way, but at the Sutton Team, we’re big believers in the advantages of hiring a team.
In a competitive real estate market like the one we have right now, it’s important to have the right real estate professionals by your side. You need people who are responsive, quick to act, good at negotiating, and knowledgeable about the Maryland real estate market. Here’s why you should hire a real estate team to buy or sell your house in Maryland.
Depending on the day, an agent might be writing up or renewing a contract, negotiating with buyers or sellers, analyzing the local real estate market, attending open houses, meeting with inspectors, marketing a home, showing homes to buyers, fielding offers, doing basic administrative tasks, and much more.
Sometimes, all those duties and responsibilities can be overwhelming, especially when many customer needs hit at once! As a solo agent it can be difficult to continue to provide exceptional service to everyone when there is so much on your plate.
But when you have a real estate team, you can delegate tasks. One person might be excellent at the paperwork, while another person might be incredible at hosting open houses and marketing properties for sale. By dividing up those tasks, a real estate team can be more effective than the sum of its parts!
Selling or buying a house in Maryland is often stressful and complex. In such a large and complicated transaction, the last thing you need is to be confused and left without guidance. But when you work with a team of realtors, there are people to help you with every last detail! You’ll have a wealth of resources at your disposal, including in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market.
A real estate team will have a whole network of people who can help with different aspects of the transaction. When you need help with the legal side of things, you need advice on the best location for your growing family, or you just need some expert assurance that you are making the right decision, your real estate team will be able to provide the support you need. If you need help with packing, moving, staging, cleaning, repairs, or renovations, your real estate agents will know who to get you in contact with.
With all the other tasks on a realtor’s plate, it’s possible that a solo agent’s attention could become divided to the point that they aren’t providing you with the level of communication you need. But with certain tasks delegated to the appropriate team members, it’s possible for a real estate team to provide top-notch service and around-the-clock availability. This is especially important when it comes to time-sensitive things, like making an offer in a competitive market.
Even if your primary agent is busy with something else – whether with another client or in their personal life – there will always be someone to take your call, answer your text, or find a solution to your problem. You’ll have round-the clock support, which could make all the difference in your real estate sale or purchase.
Even though you don’t have to pay for your agent’s services upfront, it’s still worth noting that real estate services cost money. Whether you’re buying or selling, real estate agents get paid by taking a small percentage from the price of the property. Working with a team costs the same amount as working with an individual realtor. Even though you’re working with two or more real estate agents, you don’t have to pay two commission fees. You get all the advantages of working with a team without paying a penny more!
