Estate Agent Near Me: why you used this search term.

If you’re selling your home and intending to use the services of a real estate agent to help you, one thing that is important to take into account is whether or not working with an estate agent near where you live would make a difference in attracting buyers.

The answer here is simple: Yes it makes all the difference.  

Working with local area experts is the first step to partnering with an agent who understands the local market and its buyer personas, nuances and trends.

Over and above this, local area agents can “read between the lines” of the data collected by buying and selling trends; and can help you correctly price your property from the outset.

They know where to look and can help you in finding particular amenities your buyer personas might be looking for in the local area: i.e. schools, parks, gyms, public transport and so forth.

Furthermore they will have a good understanding of what other properties in the area are listed and sold for as well as homes which are currently on the market right now (ie your competition).

The real estate marketing game has also changed: professional real estate agents near you need to not only have access to property portals like Property24 and Private Property, but also need to have access to an active and dynamic buyer database as well as leverage the power and reach of social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

An agent who excels in these areas will know exactly how to position your home on the market and which channels your most likely buyers hang out on and search for property.

For this reason it is important not to fall for the trap of only choosing an estate agent near you because they are local. If the estate agent doesn’t have access to these resources, or is not adept with them, then you’ll very quickly realise that your home will be listed on the market and all over social media for a lot longer than you may want it to.

And as any real estate agent worth their salt will tell you, the longer your home sits on the market, the lower the number of enquiries it will receive and the lower the offers it will attract.

If you want to get the most for your property then it’s vital that you choose an estate agent that is both located near you and is going to be able to market your home effectively and show potential buyers just how much potential your home has to offer.
