Exclusivity means that you entrust the sale of your real estate to one real estate agency exclusively. The appointed broker handles the whole deal. He/she helps you to set the price correctly, makes professional photos, provides for advertisement, conducts property showing, searches for the best buyer and concludes the deal by successfully handing over the flat.
Have you decided to sell/lease your real estate and use services of a real estate agency? Let us explain to you what exclusivity is and why it is beneficial to contact only one real estate agency. When you want to sell/lease your real estate, your goal is certainly to do so at the highest possible price and within the shortest possible time. This process is not easy at all and involves plenty of obstructions. And that is exactly the time to contact an experienced real estate broker who can give you advice and propose the most beneficial conditions and options.
Different prices, different data, lack of professionality. Most real estate agencies use the same advertising portals. If you cooperate with more agencies, it may happen that your real estate is displayed on the same portals in different versions. The buyer may think that the real estate is unsellable and that nobody is interested in it. Different agencies set different prices, state inaccurate data and meanwhile, you lose overview of who actually advertises your real estate. Such a sale gives very unprofessional impression and significantly devalues your real estate.
If you opt for exclusive cooperation, the broker tries to sell your real estate under the best possible conditions. The amount of the final sum marks his commission. An experienced real estate broker can spark interest of multiple clients, who then are willing to fight for the deal and are even able to pay more.
You will then avoid a situation when dozens of brokers fight for the real estate and seek lower price so that they can sell the real estate as fast as possible.
And don´t be afraid you are not visible to clients of other agencies. A real estate agency that has your property in its exclusive offer cooperates with other agencies too and uses all opportunities to find a suitable buyer.
Exclusivity offers other benefit, namely that you are in contact with only one broker. He/she has a thorough knowledge of your real estate, knows what your expectations are and personally manages property showing. You phone won´t endlessly ring with unknown numbers on the other side, and so you won´t have to communicate with different brokers or potential buyers, as your broker manages the entire agenda. You communicate only with your broker.
If you don´t live in your property, the best idea is to hand over the keys to your broker. Thus, you don´t have to be present during property showing and you may use your time differently.
If you opt for exclusivity, it is at your sole decision to agree on the time period of cooperation. You may choose one month or three months, as a professional broker doesn´t push you into something you don´t want to do. Your contract will stipulate the terms of cooperation and commission.
At present time, not only more and more clients seek cooperation with real estate brokers but also an increasing number of them prefer exclusive cooperation. When your broker carefully explains its benefits to you and answers all your questions, there is no reason for you to hesitate.
