Selling your old home and buying a new one are two different transactions. But does this mean that you always need to have separate Lakeland FL Sandpiper Golf homes agents? The answer would depend on many factors. Check some of it below:
- Where are you coming from and where will you move?
Obviously, if you are coming from or moving to a different country, having your local Lakeland Florida real estate broker to assist you both in buying and selling may not be the best decision. It is always encouraged that agents have a knowledge of the neighborhood so you’d be able to get the help you need to make an informed decision.
However, if you are selling and buying a house in the same neighborhood or state, then it might be a lot easier for you if you transact with only one agent.
- Can your agent represent you both as a buyer and a seller?
A certain expertise and a lot experiences can hone a person’s skills and make him good at what he does. This is why you have to check if the REALTOR® you plan to work with can satisfy these two, especially when you want to work with that person both in buying and selling your home.
- How good are you with coordination?
There are people who just don’t want to talk to a lot of people all the time. This may also be one of your considerations when choosing whether to have only one agent or two. If you have a lot on your plate and you can’t manage to keep up with meetings with a single real estate agent in Lakeland Florida, how do you think would you fare if you had to work with two?
- Are there trustworthy options?
Trust is not something we can give out that easily. And it’s not that easy to find a person who can really be trusted to help you make huge financial decisions such as buying and selling a home. That is why it is advisable to interview a lot of agents before you choose the best option.
Buying a new home and selling your old home with the help of a Lakeland Florida real estate broker is a must. But having two separate REALTORS® for these transactions is not always necessary. Try to evaluate your needs by answering the questions above and then decide.
