MATCHING ESTATE AGENTS TO PROPERTY TYPES
Real estate agents and companies all have expertise in different property types and choosing the right agent can add thousands, often hundreds of thousands depending on the property type, to the sale outcome. Conversely, the wrong choice of real estate agent could end up costing you dearly.
For instance a residential property zoned for development is very different in the type of real estate insider knowledge required. Investor buyers will have different agendas, criterion and yield formulas for assessing the feasibility of an investment in such a property. Therefore real estate agents need to have a more indepth understanding of selling such properties either way - to a residential buyer wanting a home or a developer wanting to invest.
Selling an apartment where unit titles and body corporates come into play is another ball game requiring solid knowledge of the legal structures and often tenancy laws if rented. Leaky apartments add another dimension to this.
Understanding how to get the most money when selling a deceased estate could add thousands to your bank balance, while selling a rental property may or may not come with tenants as occupants and should be handled tactfully.
Selling farms or Lifestyle blocks can sit on the market unless the unique circumstances surrounding them are properly understood.
Our research and years of vetting to find qualified real estate agents for people and property types has clearly shown there is a need.
