The year of 2018 sees Agent Finder setting out to help people who are preparing to sell their home, with a series of articles, which they encourage people to contact them about, and this first article is all about finding the best agent for you. Vetting real estate agents and combining this with due diligence resources can make tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of difference to the sale of your property.

Real estate agents are the information gate keepers when it comes to selling a property and some are more effective than others. It is relatively easy to become a real estate agent and there are over 15,000 of them in New Zealand. With this comes risk, and that’s why Agent Finder exists. When selling your house, Agent Finder help find the best real estate agent for you.

There have been over 1800 official complaints lodged about real estate services over the last three years which is why vetting is so important. The top five issues in complaints include: being misleading, non-disclosure, incorrect advertising, unsolicited mail, customer service and issues with sale and purchase agreements. The main ways to choose agents are via a flyer, a friend of a friend, or being allocated an agent from your local office. When the value of your house is on the line, why would you not use a vetted agent whose skills are proven?

Thousands of home sellers have turned to Agent Finder because they understand the whole picture from a seller’s perspective, providing a free, bespoke service, independent of all buying and selling real estate brands. They tailor their service based on you, your selling experience, your property type and location. This approach works best because no two properties or vendors are the same and there is no one-size-fits-all solution when selling real estate.

A decade of helping vendors prepare to sell their houses has taught Agent Finder many things. Selling your home or investment with a professionally vetted real estate agent completely changes the selling experience. First off, what they always notice with clients is that their mentality is completely different. They are empowered by the knowledge that they have gained through core industry resources about real estate appraisals, valuations, fees, commission, and how to sell a house quickly at an optimum price. There is an obvious shift from a feeling of dread to feeling in control and optimistic about their upcoming property sale. The combination of these factors also leads to better decision-making by the seller.

Agent Finder is the safest place to start the real estate process, as this is the only real estate agent vetting service and due diligence information hub in New Zealand.
