TAKING CONTROL WITH DELEGATED TASKS
Sometimes you may want to manage part of the process yourself while leaving other matters to an expert. This is where self-selling or an internet real estate agent comes into play. With these options, you can delegate certain tasks while retaining control.
SELF-SELLING: THE CONSIDERATION
Self-selling may seem financially attractive because it yields savings. However, this requires significant time and effort. You are responsible for determining the asking price, advertising without the broad reach of platforms such as Funda, conducting viewings and negotiations, as well as drafting the purchase contract.
THE VALUE OF A REAL ESTATE AGENT
However, for many, engaging a real estate agent is the preferred choice. A real estate agent offers two options:
- Full service: This includes everything from property valuation to guiding the property transfer at the notary.
- Partial assignments: You can perform certain tasks yourself and delegate others to the real estate agent, including internet agents with standard packages.
WHY AN INTERNET REAL ESTATE AGENT?
Internet real estate agents often provide a cost-effective option. While you may have to do more yourself, such as giving tours to potential buyers and sometimes creating advertisements, an internet real estate agent assists with property valuation, listing on Funda, and drafting the purchase agreement.
WARNING FOR SELF-SELLING
Although self-selling may seem attractive, we caution against the potential for lower proceeds and legal complications. A real estate agent is a specialized professional who deals with this process daily and can provide higher returns and legal certainty.
