Why should I hire an agent instead of handling the purchase/sale entirely by myself?: Services

Why should I hire an agent instead of handling the purchase/sale entirely by myself?

Selling:  In our experience, you are likely to net more money by listing through a brokerage like HillStar Realty than if you list using For Sale By Owner (FSBO).  Every deal is different, results vary, no guarantees, etc.  One factor is, for whatever reason(s), other buyers' agents tend to steer their clients clear of FSBOs (for fear they won't "earn" a commission?).  In contrast to this practice, HillStar Realty seeks FSBO properties for a buying client if the properties meet the client requirements.  However, even for real estate professionals, finding suitable FSBO properties can be difficult, for example because home owners do not have access to listing through MLS, which is what most real estate professionals use to find properties for their clients.  FSBO properties simply don't have the exposure that properties represented by a brokerage have.  So selling FSBO will typically expose you to fewer potential buyers, or may expose you buyer agents biased against having their client buy your property.


Buying:  There are many compelling reasons to engage a brokerage like HillStar Realty when purchasing a property.  First-it doesn't cost you anything.  The seller typicallly pays both sides' commission(s).  It is typically "baked into the cake" and viewed as a necessary transaction cost for a Seller.  Second, we (agents and brokers) have special Internet search tools to help find the perfect property for you.  Third, we have special electronic keys that get you into properties that you want to see.  The list goes on--we negotiate on your behalf, handle the paperwork, carry out your instructions, and go the extra mile on your behalf to make the home buying experience as stress-free for you as possible.  It is what we do.
