DISCOUNT REAL ESTATE BROKERS IN VIRGINIA BEACH

Selling A Home? There is definitely a lot to it. And a lot to consider. The overwhelming majority of home sellers will need some assistance. Realtors exist for a reason. And it is an enormously huge industry all across the country. But what about right here in the Hampton Roads Virginia area.
The first decision most sellers consider is should I attempt to sell the home myself? Or should I list with a real estate agent? Then the immediate consideration that comes next are the realtor fees.
It seems like nothing in life is a simple decision. If you’ve decided selling a home is something that you do not want to do yourself and need the help of a real estate professional. Then the next question is how much help will you need?
Will You Use A Full Service Listing Agent? Or A Discount Broker?
Both are viable options for home sellers. However, it is important to understand and differentiate between the service model types to choose the one that is most appropriate for your needs.
Full-Service Brokers
Traditional full-service real estate brokers include recognizable brand names such as Coldwell Banker, RE/MAX, and Keller Williams. These brokers typically charge a higher commission rate than discounters — historically 6 percent; and they rarely, if ever, charge any additional fees. Under the full-service model, all costs associated with marketing your home are covered. This usually includes activities such as promotion, advertising, direct mail, and posting information about your home in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
Discount Brokers
Discount brokers offer a reduced commission. You could see commission percentages ranging anywhere from 4 percent to 3 percent. Or even less. Depending on the particular broker you use, you may get a bundle of services comparable to that of the traditional broker, or you could get a scaled-down package with fees for additional services you can choose from. The more you choose, the more it will cost.
Both Can Be Good Options For Home Sellers
Again like most things in life it depends on the person and their individual circumstances. There are those who may not need any help at all. There are successful For Sale By Owners. However, the statistic show that nearly 90% of home sales are sold with assistance from an agent. Whether or not it is an officially Listed home they are getting help from somewhere on the side.
But keep in mind that there are other considerations in addition to “money saved” when you make your choice. For instance, look at the type of real estate market your area is experiencing. If you are in a hot sellers’ market where buyers are plentiful, you might decide that you don’t need a traditional full-service package.
On the other hand, if buyers are not exactly lining up to purchase properties, the difference in individual marketing and other supplementary services provided by full-service brokers might make a difference in getting your home sold. In addition, consider the type of property you are selling.
Does your home stand out among from the crowd, or is it in competition with many similar types of homes on the market? Also, think about your desired timeline for closing the sale, your knowledge and comfort level with the process, and the amount of time you have to devote to taking on aspects associated with selling your home. If speed, knowledge, and available time are concerns, you may need all of the services provided by the more traditional brokerages.
No matter which broker you end up working with, you should approach your selection process with due diligence. Get referrals from people you know and trust. Ask key questions. And weigh the pros and cons before you choose..
