Boston Charles River Park Condos
Many people ask today, “With so much information online about how to sell my Charles River Park condo, why should I use a Boston downtown real estate agent?” A lot of people believe they can put on a real estate agent hat and sell their own Boston condo for sale without a lot of fuss or difficulty. I’m going to give you four quick reasons why you should hire a Downtown Boston real estate broker.
1. Education.
Most of our education as a Boston downtown real estate broker revolves around how to not get in legal trouble. There are countless legal pitfalls in a Charles River Park condo sale and agents have to study on average for six months to pass their license exam (mostly filled with legal questions). In addition to the education required to obtain the license, Downtown Boston Real Estate Agents must take an average of 30 hours of continuing education every other year to stay up with changing laws and practices.
2. Experience.
A typical Charles River Park condo owner will buy and sell a home less than 10 times in their lifetime. A downtown Boston real estate agent may be involved in over 20 transactions a year. Personally, I’ve been licensed for 20 years coming up in 2019 and I have been involved 100’s of real estate transactions. It is easy to see how fast the numbers can add up. A good real estate agent will know what to expect and will have been there before. They can be your unequaled adviser.
3. Marketing.
If you are trying to sell your Boston condo for sale these days, online is king. Over 94% of buyers are looking for homes online. As a home owner you may find access to a few key websites. As a downtown Boston real estate agent I’ve brokered deals with the top five real estate websites in the country and pay extra money to feature my homes online on the top real estate websites, achieving thousands of online views on average per listing. Simply put, the average home owner probably can’t compete with a good downtown Boston real estate broker in terms of marketing. (Especially those of us who make it a priority.)
4. Negotiation.
Most people have negotiation skills, they negotiate with their families, when they buy cars, at works perhaps, and other scenarios. However, Downtown Boston real estate agents are used to negotiating with banks, investors, first time home buyers, other real estate agents, trustees, title companies, and more. Frankly put, no one has done more pertinent negotiation skills in real estate than your local Boston Charles River Park real estate agent.
