ON THE MARKET: Working with a real estate agent

The number of people listing their homes for sale still falls far short of demand from folks looking to buy homes right now, according to Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather.

“Unfortunately, that means little relief for homebuyers, especially those seeking an affordable home. I don’t expect the double-digit homeprice increases to subside.
Even though we’re in a historic seller’s market, it remains critical that seller’s price their homes right,” according to Washington, D.C. Redfin listing agent Mary Bazargan.
”Some sellers think that because inventory is low and houses are selling quickly, they can afford to overprice their home,” explained Bazargan. “When we price a new listing conservatively, we’re getting multiple offers, and those homes are often selling above list price. If we push the price aggressively high, the home tends to sit on the market for a while and won’t get multiple offers.” (By Monsef Rachid, WORLD PROPERTY JOURNAL ResidentialReal Estate news)

Readers, many times when I copy real estate informationit covers a wide spectrum of sales throughout the United States. This does not always pertain to the Lake Oconee area. Homes in this area are in demand as there is a shortage of homes. Supply and demand in homes has brought sellers to see an unforeseen increase in their home value. Pricing your home competitively is crucial.If you are at all thinking of selling, we cannot emphasize enough — this is the time to sell.

But, back to the title of my article. Working with a real estate agent. Whether you are buying or selling a home, the high-tech way of doing business today is hard for a real estate agent to help their client with listing their home or finding the buyer the property that would fit their needs.

Emails and texts should only be used for quick responses.Realtors need to speak to potential clients to connect with them and evaluate their needs. I guarantee you they will work for you relentlessly to sell or find the home or property you are looking for. They will do all the footwork for you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: BE HAPPY:Enjoy every moment of your life. Life is too short to waste on grudges.Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, let go what you can’t change.
