Selling your home could be the most important financial transaction
in your lifetime. As a result, it is extremely important that you
select an estate agent who knows the Durbanville market and who
is a good match for you. Experienced real estate agents often cost
the same as brand new agents. Chances are that the experienced agent
will be able to bring you a higher price in less time and with fewer
hassles. Many homeowners list with the agent who tells them the
highest price. Remember, the market ultimately sets the price, not
the agent. Instead, choose an agent with the best marketing, and
best information, to sell your home. Competing estate agents sometimes
inflate the value of a property in order to ‘buy’ your
listing, intending to later drop their price, but all this actually
results in a lower eventual selling price than what could have been
obtained if priced correctly from the start. If one valuation is
significantly higher than the others, be suspicious of how that
number was reached. More important to this process is getting an
idea of these estate agents' backgrounds, expertise and experience
in the Durbanville property market, motivation, and simply their
personalities – you may be working closely with this agent
for many weeks, so it is important that it be someone you trust.
If
you are thinking of selling your house, townhouse, flat or vacant
land in Durbanville, your home should be appraised and valued by
an estate agent who can advise you about local market conditions
in the Durbanville area and provide an accurate assessment of the
correct marketing price for your Durbanville property. You can access
a number of other important services through estate agents such
as financial advice and conveyancing services. A good estate agent
will also give you great service, keep you informed throughout the
process and negotiate the best deal on your behalf.
What are the benefits of using an estate agent – for
property sellers in Durbanville?
Estate
agents are responsible for collecting information about a property,
marketing the property through various media, and advising sellers
before, during and after the sale of the property,
A reputable estate agent will realistically estimate the value of
the property. This role generally involves valuing properties for
the sales market by looking at what the home offers and the property's
condition and comparing it with others that have sold in the Durbanville
area, and talking to the sellers about their property and its special
features.
Thereafter the estate agent will market and promote the property
for sale, and compile adverts and home information packs or brochures
to convey all aspects of the property to potential buyers.
Estate agents use their local knowledge of the Durbanville property
market when marketing the property to potential buyers and then
negotiating with them on behalf of their client

buyers, making sure that a price is agreed that is acceptable to
both buyer and seller.
The estate agent is responsible for monitoring sales transactions
