AGENT VS PRIVATE?
While handling the sale or purchase of a home independently is possible, it's crucial to remember that property transactions are fundamentally legal matters.
For homeowners with full-time jobs, managing a property transaction without professional help can be both time-consuming and complex.
Engaging a real estate agent can facilitate selling your home at the best price in the shortest timeframe.
If you decide to buy or sell your own home, recognize that the process is intricate and comes with many stakes.

Investment Security
Property is typically the most significant investment people make. Sellers need to ensure they realize the full value of their property, buyers must verify they're paying a fair price, and landlords need to trust their tenants are reliable and maintain the property well.
Experienced real estate professionals mitigate these risks by:
- Meeting clients in public places for initial consultations
-Accompanying clients during property viewings
-Verifying identities of all parties involved
-Checking for property defects or liens
-Conducting thorough inspections
-Ensuring all contracts are legally binding
-Providing guidance to avoid common scams
Real estate agents also have networks of professionals, such as lawyers and conveyancers, to protect clients from fraud.
