Everyone who is looking for real estate to buy or rent is faced with an obvious question: should he analyze the available offers on his own or contact a specialist realtor? Can the sale of real estate be profitable without an intermediary, or is it better to contact a large agency?
On the one hand, it may seem that finding an object at a fair price, an apartment in a new building or an object in the secondary market, given the abundance of offers, can be done quickly and easily. You can also sell it quickly. It is enough to place an ad on the Internet.
On the other hand, with a detailed analysis of the market for current offers, you are likely to come across inadequate prices, scammers posing as honest sellers and buyers, as well as expected organizational problems and a high level of competition. You will have to independently show your object, prepare documents and check the "pitfalls" of the transaction, communicate with resellers and simply overly curious customers. Is it worth it?
Suppose you are interested in apartments in Tula. You can search for ads on the Internet, contact developers and property owners. However, it is worth considering that a number of construction companies do not sell their properties on their own at all, as well as a number of homeowners who have delegated authority to agencies. In addition, large specialized companies already have their own relevant and constantly growing base of both sellers and buyers.
The question of the best price is also not in the last place. If you want to buy an apartment in a new building, take out a loan on favorable terms for buying real estate, get access to exclusive prices - contact an agency that has established itself. Of course, preference is given to those realtors who simultaneously act as partners to construction companies and banks, large companies operating throughout the country.
Legal support, preparation of documents, verification of the purity of the transaction and the transfer of ownership - this is something that is very difficult to do on your own, without experience. If the agency ensures the legality of the transaction and acts as a financial guarantor, there is no need to skimp on security, it is better to pay a certain percentage of the commission, so as not to lose everything later.
In conclusion, we note both the increased level of comfort in the transaction and the efficiency of the search for options. By displaying or inspecting objects without anyone's help, you spend hours of time organizing and negotiating. And it is far from the fact that the time spent will turn out to be a good deal.
