Having the right agent is important when you're thinking of buying or selling. But sometimes, you need to get your home sold for a fair amount and also you need someone on your side who can help you negotiate the purchase of a new home. If this is the case, you should consider hiring the same agent to help you sell and buy. Here are a few reasons why:
1. Familiarity
A good agent will take the time to know you well, they'll figure out your likes and dislikes. This will help when you're trying to sell your home because they''ll be able to tell buyers what kind of homeowner you are and make that part of the transaction transparent and without any unexpected suprises. When you buy, they'll already know why you're looking to buy and the process of finding a home that suits your needs will go much smoother.
2. Timing
An agent who is working both sides of the transaction will be aware of your timing, and they'll do their best to make sure that when you sell you'll have something lined up to buy. It's in the agent's best interest to time this correctly and negotiate both ends of the deals so you don't end up homeless for a few days and in some cases a few weeks.
3. Resources
An agent who is invested of sides of a transaction will be one of your best resources when it is time to move. They'll make sure you have your moving plans in order and if there is any work that needs to be done to either properties, they'll have contractors on hand to help you take care of it. Doing this alone could end up taking up a lot of your time!
There's many other reason's why you should get an agent to represent both sides of the transaction but make sure that they done this before. Recently we've done 396 East View Dr,
