Unleashing the Secrets to Achieving Sales Success in 2023

Posted 11 March 2023
2023 - is this the year to re-evaluating your housing needs

With the last couple of years throwing many of us into a state of uncertainty, it's natural to want to reassess our priorities and think about where we want to call home. Whether you're looking to downsize or relocate, it's important to carefully consider your options when buying and selling a property.

Many of us automatically assume that a real estate agent is the only way to go when it comes to buying or selling a home. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, there are now a number of online services that provide smarter selling solutions, helping you to navigate the property market more easily and cost-effectively.

If you're considering moving, you might ask friends and family for estate agent recommendations. But have you thought about the pros and cons of hiring an estate agent versus selling online? By using an online service, you could save yourself thousands of dollars in commission fees, and have greater control over the selling process.

At the same time, it's important to research and ensure you're getting the right advice and support for your needs. Online services like Next Address and Hello Haus are just two examples of companies that offer a smarter, service-based approach to real estate.

One of the biggest myths surrounding real estate agents is that they will disclose everything you need to know about a property. However, this isn't always the case. It's important to take responsibility for doing your own research, and if you're not confident in your abilities, consider hiring a buyer's advocate to help you navigate the market.

Another common misconception is that agents are qualified to formally evaluate your property. While they can provide an estimation based on past sales, it's important to do your own research and get a sense of what homes in your area are selling for.

When connecting buyers and sellers, many real estate agents keep a database of clients, but this isn't always the most effective way to find buyers. In fact, most buyers are already accessible online, making it easy to reach out to potential buyers directly.

Open houses and viewings are an important part of the selling process, but traditional agents often have to stick to set viewing times that may not be convenient for buyers. By selling online, you have more control over the viewing process, making it easier to schedule viewings and open houses at a time that suits both you and your potential buyers.

Finally, while some real estate agents are skilled negotiators, many are not. By using online negotiation systems, you can make offers through portals that are transparent and accountable. This makes the negotiation process more accessible and less daunting for buyers and sellers alike.

Ultimately, whether you choose a traditional real estate agent or a smarter online service will depend on your individual needs and preferences. By carefully considering all of your options and doing your research, you can make the right decisions and achieve a successful outcome when it comes to buying or selling your home.
