News to Homeowners: Experience Sells

ANDOVER, Mass. - Nov. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- If you're selling your home, or thinking about selling your home, you've probably been searching for the right real estate agent.  In your search, have you been looking for an agent with experience?  How long does a realtor need to be in the industry before they are actually "experienced"?  To give you some perspective, here is what an agent with 20 or more years of experience can offer you when it comes to selling your home.

Strong Relationships

An experienced real estate agent will have connections with others in the field that newer agents simply won't have.  Years of working with others in the same industry gives an experienced agent a long list of contacts and a huge advantage.  Like any industry, the more networking a professional is exposed to, the better.  Of course, it's not just about who you know, but it certainly helps!

Keeping Calm

A real estate agent that has been in the industry for many years is going to deliver the best results in stressful or difficult situations.  This is because the agent has been exposed to many different scenarios over time.  An experienced agent will also be able to anticipate problems before they happen.  This is especially important for first time home sellers that may not know what to expect during the process.  An agent with many years under his or her belt will keep calm and carry on instead of cracking under pressure.

Exposure to Buyers

So, how does an experienced real estate agent help sell your home? The answer is simple. They know which buyers want to buy your home and they know which strategies work best to attract those buyers.  Your agent has had many years to figure out what works and what doesn't.  An experienced agent will get straight to the point when they are marketing your home for sale.

Specific Expertise

A seasoned agent will usually have a specific niche within the real estate industry.  Whether they are knowledgeable about a specific location, or home type, they will know all the ins and outs.  If your real estate agent's expertise matches your specific needs as a seller, you're in luck.  This can be a huge advantage for home sellers.  Agents with 20 or more years of experience have had plenty of time to become an expert.

So, as you can see, choosing an experienced real estate agent can provide multiple advantages for you as a home seller.  As you look for an agent, consider having experience at the top of your checklist!
