A seller's agent is a real estate professional who represents the interests of a homeowner who is looking for help with the process of selling a house. The services offered by a seller's agent can vary depending on the specific needs of the homeowner, but typically include the following:
Setting a listing price: A seller's agent can help a homeowner determine an appropriate asking price for their property by performing a comparative market analysis (CMA) that examines the prices of recently sold homes in the same area.
Marketing the property: A seller's agent can create a marketing plan to help promote the property to potential buyers. This may include listing the property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), creating online ads and virtual tours, and hosting open houses.
Negotiating offers: When a potential buyer makes an offer on the property, the seller's agent can negotiate the terms of the offer on behalf of the homeowner.
Closing the sale: A seller's agent can help the homeowner navigate the closing process, which includes finalizing the sale and transferring ownership of the property to the buyer.
Providing advice and guidance: Throughout the entire selling process, a seller's agent can provide advice and guidance to the homeowner, helping them make informed decisions about selling real estate.
