Are real estate agents a necessity?


Real estate agents and negotiators often straddle both sides of the transaction – representing either the seller or the buyer – depending on who has engaged their services.

When buying or selling a home, especially in the sub-sale market, engaging a registered real estate agent or negotiator is common practice, particularly if they are known specialists in the area. These professionals act as a gateway to local knowledge, current market trends and fair pricing, offering homeowners and buyers a streamlined experience.
