Why Hire Real Estate Agent?

The Internet has opened up a world of information that wasn't previously available to homebuyers and seller.  The data on listings available for sale is almost current - but not quite.  There are times when you need the most current information about what has sold or is for sale, and the only way to get that is with an agent.

Why hire real estate agent?

1. Real Estate Agents or REALTORS®?

All Realtors® are licensed to sell real estate as a Sales Representative or a broker but not all real estate agents are Realtors®. Only Realtors® can display the Realtor® logo. Realtors® belong to the Canadian Real Estate Association of Realtors and pledge to follow the Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice that are under the direct control of Canadian Real Estate Association. Not all licensees are Realtors®.

2. Who defends your interests?

Agents take the spam out of your property showings and visits. If you're a seller, your agent will filter all those phone calls that lead to nowhere from lookie loos and try to induce serious buyers to immediately write an offer.

3. Knowledge of Neighbourhood in Toronto and GTA

Agents either possess intimate knowledge or they know where to find the industry buzz about your neighbourhood. They can identify comparable sales and hand these facts to you, in addition to pointing you in the direction where you can find more data on schools, crime or demographics. For example, you may know that a home down the street was on the market for $350,000, but an agent will know it had upgrades and sold at $285,000 after 65 days on the market and after twice falling out of escrow.

4. Price negotiation strategy for clients.

Contrary to what some people believe, agents do not select prices for sellers or buyers. However, an agent will help to guide clients to make the right choices for themselves. Selling agents will ask buyers to weigh all the data supplied to them and to choose a price. Then based on market supply, demand and the conditions, the agent will devise a negotiation strategy.

5. Do you know all Market Conditions Informationfor this moment?

Real estate agents can disclose market conditions, which will govern your selling or buying process. Many factors determine how you will proceed. Data such as the average per square foot cost of similar homes, average sales prices, average days on the market and ratios of list-to-sold prices, among other criteria, will have a huge bearing on what you ultimately decide to do with your Offer.

6. Network with other Realtors

Real estate agents network with other Realtors, many of whom provide services that you will need to buy or sell. Due to legal liability, many agents will hesitate to recommend a certain individual or company over another, but they do know which vendors have a reputation for efficiency, competency and competitive pricing. Agents can, however, give you a list of references with whom they have worked and provide background information to help you make a wise selection.

7. Information Confidentiality

Realtorss negotiate well because, unlike most buyers and sellers, they can remove themselves from the emotional aspects of the transaction and because they are skilled. It's part of their job description. Good agents are not messengers, delivering buyer's offers to sellers and vice versa. They are professionals who are trained to present their client's case in the best light and agree to hold client information confidential.

8. Paperwork Volumes

The agent also is skilled at preparing the paperwork involved in making an offer to purchase and closing the sale.
One-page deposit receipts were prevalent in the early 1970s. Today's purchase agreements run 10 pages or more. That does not include the federal- and province-mandated disclosures nor disclosures dictated by local custom. Most real estate files average thicknesses from one to three inches of paper. One tiny mistake or omission could land you in court or cost you thousands.

9. Who Answer Your Questions After Closing?

Even the smoothest transactions that close without complications can come back to haunt. For example, taxing authorities that collect property tax assessments, doc stamps or transfer tax can fall months behind and mix up invoices, but one call to your agent can straighten out the confusion. Many questions can pop up that were overlooked in the excitement of closing. Good agents stand by ready to assist. Worthy and honest agents don't leave you in the dust to fend for yourself.

10. Relationships with Agent for Future Business

The basis for an agent's success and continued career in real estate is referrals. Few agents would survive if their livelihood was dependent on consistently drumming up new business. This emphasis gives agents strong incentives to make certain clients are happy and satisfied. It also means that an agent who stays in the business will be there for you when you need to hire an agent again. Many will periodically mail market updates to you to keep you.

11. Multiple Listing Service

If you're selling a home, you gain access to the most buyers by being listed in the Multiple Listing Service.  Only a licensed real estate agent who is a member of your local MLS can get you listed there - which then gets you automatically listed on some of the major real estate web sites.  If you're buying or selling a home, the MLS is your agent's best tool.

 Your Realtor and the Multiple Listing Services 

  MLS from Toronto Real Estate Board provides an inventory of available properties and other real estate information. A REALTOR can provide invaluable assistance in buying or selling your next property.

If you decided to sell, this system can be used by REALTOR to determine a fair listing price by providing a comparative market analysis, which is focuses on the location of your property and accurately describes it as possible to comparable sold, active and expired real estate properties, retrieving information such as sold price, list price and average time on the market to help determine a range of fair listing prices. Also, your property gets maximum marketing exposure to all other members of the Toronto Real Estate Board. You'll have REALTORS^® everywhere trying to find a buyer for your property. It is the MLS^® computer system that will provide other members of the real estate Board with detailed information about your property.

And if you decided to buy, a REALTOR can match your very specific needs to all properties listed on MLS. This system is a valuable research tool for your REALTOR^® who can input your property criteria you want to buy and find out all properties that match your needs. These properties might be listed by other REALTORS^® from other companies. MLS helps you find the property you want. This system supplements the knowledge your REALTOR^® has of the neighbourhood and today's market conditions to help you make a informed decision for buying any property.

Your REALTOR can create a profile outlining your desired price range for desire location and specific details like the number of bathrooms, bedrooms and parking spaces. For buyers who are focused on specific location, your REALTOR can even search all active listings on a desire street and retrieve all relevant information including property description, available inside pictures, and assessed value. The system updates at midnight and your REALTOR can also search specific properties’ historical data like sold statistics to show how property prices reflect today's market conditions.

Whether you're buying or selling, the Multiple Listing Service system is an amazing tool for your REALTOR^®.

A qualified, competent real estate agent will help you navigate the myriad of decisions that arise when buying a home. An agent provides value to the buyers in many ways:

• Adds experience and expertise in all aspects of the sales process including marketing, financing, negotiations and more.
• Brings a network of known, trusted real estate professionals. If your agent doesn't have the answer, he or she likely knows someone who does.
• Always has your interests in mind so you always have someone on your side.
• Can handle and advise on all price and contract negotiations.
• Provides you with the possible options and opportunities
• Your time is valuable. A real estate agent allows you to spend your time how you want.
