Organize viewings

Your estate agent will set up viewings of your home to show potential purchasers around. As they act as a bridge between you and buyers they even reply the important queries. When your realtor leaves after viewing, they should make sure your property is secure.

Manage the bargaining process

Negotiations and acting as a go-between for potential purchasers are important aspects of an estate agent’s employment. Offers should be directed to the estate agent, who will forward them to the owner. And in turn, communicate the seller’s answer to any offer made.
