A real estate agent is a trained expert who can help you buy or sell real estate. They are familiar with the paperwork required to complete a property purchase or sale. Real estate agents have a thorough understanding of the industry; they know which market to target when advertising your home. When it comes to buying or selling a home, they also know how to navigate the legal system. A real estate agent is qualified to market your home and negotiate the best deal possible on your behalf.
The various types of real estate agents are as follows:
REALTOR
This is a licensed real estate agent who is bound by a code of ethics. A realtor works for a brokerage firm that hires agents, puts buyers and sellers together, markets the property for a fee, and can even administer your rental property
When a realtor signs a contract with a buyer or seller, he or she is legally bound to carry out all of the tasks specified in the agency agreement. A realtor is required by law and an ethics code to put the client's interests first and to be honest and truthful in all of their transactions.
AGENT
An agent is authorized to promote and negotiate property sales and purchases on behalf of a realtor. The real estate agent assists the seller or buyer by taking photographs of the property, supplying marketing materials, coordinating property showings, negotiating with potential buyers or sellers, and will help you navigate the legal procedures to complete the transaction.
BROKER
This is a licenced real estate agent who is in charge of property marketing and sales. A real estate broker is not required to work for a brokerage business. He or she may choose to work for several real estate businesses on a contract basis. The broker will market, list, and show your home, as well as negotiate the best potential price and advise the client on any concerns that may occur throughout the transaction.
SELLER’S AGENT
This is a real estate agent that specializes in selling your home and gets paid a commission if the transaction goes through. They'll post your home on various listing service databases so that other agents and potential buyers will know about it. The seller agent's job is to do research and come up with an appropriate sale price, prepare the property for showings, arrange an open house, promote your home, and negotiate the best possible terms for the sale. They may also provide advice on the many bids that have been put in on the property and assist you in narrowing down your options.
BUYER’S AGENT
Only the buyer is represented by this real estate agent. They will pay attention to your individual property requirements and do research on several houses in your price range. The buyer's agent will search the market for available properties, schedule showings, and provide recommendations for the best property for you. They are continually on the lookout for new property listings and make plans to examine and inspect them.
A buyer's agent also assists their client in determining the finest financing options. They also assist with the processing of paperwork required to complete a transaction. These documents contain the selling agreement and title paperwork.
DUAL AGENT
A Dual Agent works with both the buyer and the seller on the same property. Both parties normally have a contract with the agency. If both the seller's and buyer's agents work for the same real estate business, this might also be the case. Both parties have the right to withdraw from the contract if the dual agent fails to disclose his position in the transaction. When choosing a dual agent, keep in mind that they may have a conflict of interest. A dual agent, for example, may have access to both parties' private information.
