There is one critical factor when looking to sell or purchase a property and that is engaging a local agent with local community experience and expertise. Here’s why choosing local makes all the difference.
Community knowledge:
Whether you’re buying or selling, there’s so much more involved than the physical house – it’s also about the local neighbourhood, school zoning, proximity to public transport or just a good recommendation for a nice coffee shop. Your local agent will know the ins and outs of the local area.
Local marketing and advertising know-how:
With an in-depth understanding of your neighbourhood’s demographics, local agents can guide you to making an informed decision when it comes to effective marketing and advertising strategies for your home. They’ll understand which key features of your property to promote, and which online platforms or media will best engage potential buyers. As we do, we have dedicated Facebook pages to help our clients either buying or selling.
Support local:
Choosing a local agent supports local businesses and, as a result, the community in which you reside. Real estate transactions involve various local professionals, and by working with them, you’re contributing to your community’s economic growth and future.
Care beyond the transaction:
Beyond the sale or purchase of a home, local agents will often continue to provide ongoing support and guidance. This can include recommendations for local contractors and community events to get involved in if you’re new to the area or purchasing an investment property.
