There are many benefits to working with an independent real estate agent when it comes to selling your home. An independent agent will work closely with you so that you will achieve your goals of a quick sale and a price that you’ll be happy with.

Let’s look at some of the benefits of working with an independent agent.

An independent agent knows your local area

It’s crucial to understand what’s happening in your local market when it’s time to sell your home. An independent agent will have been working in your area for many years and understands exactly what’s happening in the market and what potential buyers are looking for.

You get a more hands-on approach

When you work with an independent agent, you’re going to get a fully hands-on approach from your agent. This starts with the appraisal of your property and the marketing plan.

An independent agent with local knowledge will ensure that he uses the best possible strategy to market your property so that you get the outcome that you’re after.

Plus, the lines of communication are always open so you can ask questions freely if you have any concerns or are not sure of the process. Your agent will always be accountable and willing to answer your questions as they crop up.

You get the best marketing experience

As all marketing is now done online, all the advertising of your property is done in the same way whether you work with an independent agent or a large franchise. You just end up with a more personal approach with an independent agent.

Moreover, most independent agents share information and knowledge with each other. This ensures that your agent is using the absolute best practices to achieve the greatest results.

You’re working with the same person throughout the process

Selling your home is a very personal experience and you want to ensure that you’re happy and comfortable with the agent who you’re working with. When you deal with an independent agent, you’ll see the same smiling face every time you meet or are assured of talking to the same friendly voice every time you phone the office.

This gives you complete assurance that your agent is on your side and is working hard to get the best outcome for you. It also means that your agent has complete knowledge of the entire process from start to finish.

On the other hand, if you work with a large franchise, you might end up dealing with a variety of different people and lose that very personal touch.

Additionally, your independent agent will be at all of the open homes and viewings and can give potential buyers all the information that they need both about your property and also the local area.

Your independent agent can recommend trusted colleagues

Whether you need a stylist, a mortgage broker, a solicitor, or a conveyancer, your local agent can recommend the perfect person for you. This gives you the assurance that you’ll be engaging the services of someone who is trusted and also knows the area.

This also saves you time as you won’t need to find these service providers by yourself and won’t end up engaging someone who is not a leader in their field.
