Are you looking to buy or sell a property in Malaysia?
The entire process can be complex and confusing, which is why you might want to consider engaging a professional Real Estate Agent (REA) or Real Estate Negotiator (REN).
Here are some reasons why appointing a real estate agent to sell your property can help you have a smooth and successful transaction.
1. Saves Time and Effort
Property transactions need a lot of attention and effort.
A real estate agent manages the time-consuming aspects, including sourcing for buyers, arranging viewings, handling documentation, and negotiating terms. In exchange, you pay them a fee or commission.
By taking care of the tedious details of a property transaction, you can focus on other priorities while they allowing them to take care of the process.
2. Expert Guidance
The real estate landscape in Malaysia is ever-changing, with new development areas, economic fluctuations, and stricter regulations.
Real estate professionals offer expert advice and guidance to help you make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
3. Effective Marketing
Agents and negotiators use the most effective marketing strategies and platforms to attract the right buyers or sellers.
This includes using social media marketing, advertising on property websites and posting banners at your property.
This ensures that your property receives the attention it needs to stand out in a competitive market.
4. Extensive Network
Agents have a wide network to tap into, including other real estate negotiators, loan officers, law firms, and contractors.
This network facilitates a seamless flow at every stage of the buying and selling process.
5. Skilled Negotiations
An agent’s negotiation skills can help you secure favourable terms and conditions.
By working with an agent, you are assured of getting the best possible price while minimising the risks of fraud.
6. Ethical Conduct and Professionalism
Licensed by the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents, and Property Managers (BOVAEP), REAs and RENs must adhere to strict professional standards.
Agents are committed to safeguarding their clients’ best interests, acting within the law, and providing quality services. In rare cases of dispute, you are protected under the regulatory framework of BOVAEP.
In contrast, if you engage with an unlicensed real estate broker, you run the risk of becoming a victim of real estate fraud and incurring a huge loss. You should avoid these illegal property brokers at all costs!
A simple way is verify the authenticity of their license is to ask for their REN tag number, and run a search of it on the BOVAEP website.
