HI there :)

the basic reasons will be your marketing exposure in marketing your property.. agent will have access to a lot of tools and marketing media (including co-broke sites) that allow to give your property maximum exposure. Basically, put the job in the hand of an expert to maximise your return instead of putting your time in doing something that is totally new or having a huge learning curve to do 1 important deal which is your home.

Another reason will be you will be able to sell your property more objectively because understand property is something that close to your heart especially if you stay in that property. By engaging agent, you can focus on maximising your return without need to hear some comment that some buyer put to allow to buy the property cheaply.

Feel free to discuss with me for any doubt. Fransiska 91865457  Read More

Dear owner,

Fransiska has highlighted some of the differences. In my opinion, that is the basic considerations. In my opinion, the client base and the domain business the salesperson in is more important than anything else.

The reason behind is every salesperson is likely to have the same marketing media, which are likely to be on yearly subscription basis therefore this is only the advantage we enjoy over owners selling themselves as we are also investing into paid advertisements in newspapers. On the other hand, if the salesperson has the right business domain, he or she will enjoy the additional coverage from his/her existing network of clientele, for example my main business network is within the landed property segment, my network of clientele falls in the higher income bracket and likely own more than 1 property, therefore the tendency for these clients to upgrade or downgrade with healthy budget on hand is good.

If you have any concerns and wish to find out more about the advantages and disadvantages.

Let me know.

Afternoon,

It's good to sell your own condo. It help you save some money and you can be sure that you will not damage your own property. By doing some research, you might understand the market value of your unit. advertising through papers might be your best mean of exposure. Answering calls from salesperson who want to try their luck to market your unit and from direct buyers who are keen to view your unit will give you some insight of our job. With possible insufficient knowledge on the S&P process, you can always engage lawyers to assist you on the drafting of OTP and guide you through the way, at additional cost. If your current lifestyle is carefree and you have the time to spare, marketing your own unit might be fun and refreshing.

But if you prefer to spend such time with your family members, doing your favourite things, go for swim or movie, and not be confused by the rulings around the sales and purchase procedure, getting a salesperson to assist you might be a better choice. Wise man do not do everything on their own but engage the right person for the job.
