The Benefits of Hiring a Real Estate Team

The Ames Group Real Estate Video Blog With Sue Langston-Ames

A common question we hear from buyers and sellers alike is, “Should I work with an individual agent or a real estate team?”
For the best shot at accomplishing your goals, work with a real estate team. A team is a group of specialists. For example, it’s the buyer specialist’s job to look for the right house for you. They are scouring the MLS daily to find new listings.
If you’re dealing with a solo agent, they’ve got a lot more on their plate than just helping you find a home to buy. They are also trying to deal with listings, paperwork, lockboxes, signs, you name it. Right now, we are in a strong seller’s market and if you’re buying, your buyer’s agent needs to be in tune with that’s going on. You’ve got to be able to get to that dream house first so you have the best shot at writing an offer.

A team gives you more specialized, individual attention.

A team helps when selling in many different ways. Our office manager’s job is to make sure the listing gets input in the best possible light. We also hire a professional photographer to capture your home’s unique beauty. We make sure all paperwork is accurate and compliant. Our specialists are here to make sure everything is where it needs to be and done when it needs to be done.
We’ve also got a marketing director who works with both the photographers and home stagers to make sure homes are shown in their best possible light and appeal to the highest number of buyers possible.
Another thing a team is able to do differently than a solo agent is prospect. Instead of just waiting for buyers to find your house, we are actively engaged in finding them. We are on the phone on a daily basis looking for new buyers and receiving their information from our website. We know when buyers are looking at your property, how long they are looking at it, and we are following up with them.
That’s the benefit of using a team; you get specialized and individual attention that you simply can’t get with a solo agent. If you have any questions for us about working with a real estate team, give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you.
