5 reasons why you need a qualified property practitioner to sell your home

Selling a home involves meticulous planning, execution, and follow-through. While some homeowners choose to sell their homes on their own, the majority of homeowners opt to work with a qualified property practitioner. 

There are several reasons to consider hiring a qualified property practitioner to sell your home:

• You are safeguarded from scams

A person cannot be a property practitioner just because they have sold a home in the past. The Property Practitioner Regulatory Authority (PPRA), formerly known as the Estate Agency Affairs Board (EAAB), requires registration from anyone who assists in the sale of property, regardless of whether they are a property practitioner or work for a company engaged in real estate. This is to guarantee that real estate professionals take responsibility for their activities.

If someone contacts you about selling your house, be sure they are a licensed property practitioner. If the person claims to be employed by an agency, you can visit the agency's website or call them to verify. Also ask for their Fidelity Fund Certificate (FFC) and call the PPRA at 087 285 3222 to confirm that they are a qualified property practitioner.

• They are knowledgeable about the real estate sector

Property practitioners are educated experts with in-depth knowledge of the local real estate industry, including current trends, pricing strategies, and legislation. They may offer useful information to homeowners trying to sell their houses since they are informed about the neighbourhoods and towns where they work. A qualified property practitioner will know how to price your property correctly and how to market it effectively. 

• They have an extensive network and connections

Property practitioners are part of a larger network of professionals in the real estate industry, including other property practitioners, mortgage brokers, home inspectors, and contractors. This network enables them to connect homeowners with the resources they need to sell their homes, such as home staging professionals, photographers, and home inspectors.

Moreover, property practitioners are connected with a large pool of potential buyers. They have a list of buyers who are looking to purchase a property and will be able to market your property to those buyers. This increases the chances of getting a quick sale and at a good price.

• They have top negotiation skills

Qualified property practitioners are trained to handle the often-complicated and emotional process of buying and selling real estate.When there are hurdles, they can help to keep the process moving ahead by navigating the negotiations between buyers and sellers.

Property practitioners are also skilled at navigating the legal ramifications of real estate deals, including the creation and review of contracts and making sure all the necessary documentation is in place.

• They manage the process of selling your home

A qualified property practitioner will oversee the entire selling process. They may assist homeowners with staging, cleaning, and little repairs as they get ready to put their properties on the market. Additionally, they may handle all of the marketing and promotion, including placing the home on various websites, holding open houses, and taking prospective buyers around to see it.

Property professionals also take care of all the legal and administrative procedures, including creating the sales contract, organising inspections, and collaborating with the closing attorney. Additionally, they will take care of all the follow-up duties, including planning the closure and guaranteeing that the deal closes on schedule.
