Should I buy or sell my house with or without an agent?

With such a high volume of gizmos and gadgets that allow buyers and sellers to conduct their own real estate transactions, it may seem tempting to proceed without an agent, even in the luxury market. Surely, it is possible to save money going about it by yourself, but it can also end up costing far more than a real estate agent's commission in the longrun. Buying a home is a tremendous financial and emotional process that can be made more efficient with the support of an agent.

Save time and get better access

Real estate agents like Jean-Luc Andriot and his team have access to thousands of listings through special programs and can easily fine-tune the search for your perfect home by combing through their vast databases. A real estate agent knows what needs to be done to finalize sales and get you into the right luxury home or condo. He or she will track down homes that meet your criteria, get in touch with sellers' agents and set up meetings for you to see homes.

On the other hand if you are selling your home without an agent, you will have to reach out to interested parties, schedule appointments and spend valuable time chasing potential buyers. Buyers are more likely to move on to other prospects if you seem too busy or not accommodating enough, and equally possible is the chance you will schedule appointments and rush home to find no one at your home, missing their scheduled visit.

Negotiate the right way

Minimize the risk of details falling through the cracks when you have a real estate agent like Jean-Luc. Experts like him regularly engage with the intricate details of contracts that can easily be overlooked. For instance, if you intend to buy a home with a mortgage but fail to make financing one of your conditions of the sale, and you aren't approved for the mortgage you can lose your deposit and potentially by sued by the seller for failing to uphold your end of the contract. For more than a decade, Jean-Luc has poured over the minute details of thousands of contracts closing deals that leave both buyers and sellers happy with their perfect luxury home in the perfect luxury neighborhood. He works with only the best lawyers that will make the process a positive one.

The Right Resources

Jean-Luc and his team have the right resources to guide you through the exciting, yet complicated commitment to buy a home. His services are supplemented by helpful tools online that allow you to search through the listings, save searches, and receive updates via email - not to mention timely and informative blog posts that will keep you up to date on market trends, design tips, and much more.

When it's time to purchase or sell a luxury home or condo in South Florida, you will certainly fare better with an agent, particularly an agent like Jean-Luc Andriot or a member of his team at Boca Raton Premier Properties.
