Why Sell Your House, Condo, or Any Other Type of Property with a Real Estate Broker?

To sell your house, condo, or any other type of property, you have two options: work with a real estate broker or try to sell it yourself. With websites designed for seller-owners, you might wonder why you should work with a real estate broker. The answer is simple: a real estate transaction is complex, and as time goes on, it becomes even more complicated—evaluating, negotiating, qualifying buyers, inspecting, filling out legal forms, discussing inclusions and exclusions, occupancy dates, etc.

A real estate professional trained through a rigorous program is able to assist you in each of these steps with ease. Their expertise, network of contacts, knowledge of various aspects of a transaction, and mastery of evaluation and negotiation make them the perfect ally to sell your house, condo, or any other type of property.

According to a recent study by OACIQ, the main reasons homeowners choose to sell by themselves are the perceived cost savings, the impression that a property sells itself, and the confidence in their own skills. However, sellers who hold these beliefs overlook the advantages of working with a real estate broker and forget that brokers are the most competent and impartial professionals to obtain the best price under the best conditions.

Homeowners also forget that most buyers are already using the services of a real estate broker and will therefore not be interested in properties sold by the owner since their broker would not assist them in the purchase process. Similarly, access to Quebec’s network of real estate brokers through the inter-agency listing service (Centris, MLS) provides the owner with much more visibility to buyers and other brokers working for buyers. Moreover, handling each step of the transaction process—from property visits to contract signing, including negotiations—is a process that requires experience and numerous hours of work. By working with a real estate broker, the owner frees themselves from these tasks, saving time, avoiding mistakes, and having peace of mind.
