GET REAL ESTATE AGENT REVIEWS BEFORE SELLING
By Trish Willis | Member of Property Institute of NZ (IPAC)
When selling a property, the biggest decision to make is who to list it with, and real estate agent reviews can help narrow the search down.
But when it comes to the best real estate agents, is it the one who sells the most properties? Or comes from the biggest real estate company? A local company? A 'flyer in your letterbox' real estate company, the agent who sold you the house or the cheapest real estate company? Should you sell with multiple companies or just one?
Just where do you go for independent real estate reviews, advice and guidance about selling a house and choosing a real estate agent to sell what is likely to be your biggest financial asset? An impetuous decision can be very costly indeed.
Agencies are not independent, so where to go for non-biased help?
It seems, when faced with such an important decision about something you have limited experience of (and which can be life changing in either a positive or negative way) the most obvious place to get information is from real estate companies directly. But the information you will receive won't be independent, it will be about them and their services. And once you're in the fold it's hard to back out.
The reality is that it is almost impossible to be 100 per cent informed about selling a house. There are many organisations and services other than real estate companies that have valuable information relevant to home sellers but often people are unaware of these info sources.
This 6-step flowchart is an excellent example of Government and leading non-government bodies pulling together to provide both buyers and sellers the most important, relevant information that protects you.
