Top 4 Benefits of Working Closely with a Trusted New Realtor
Think of a well-established super-selling real estate agent, now imagine them starting as a brand new realtor. It’s kind of hard to picture, right? They, too, were once excited, inexperienced, and keen to get started. Early in their career, buyers and sellers who weren’t related or close friends gave them a chance to shine. For some, experience is valued counter-intuitively, inexperience can also be a trait that is as equally valuable.
In this article, we will discuss the top four benefits of working closely with a new realtor and how it can benefit you in the long run.
1. Fresh Out of the Books
This endearing phrase means that your new realtor is done with all the studying and ready to immerse themselves in extensive course materials needed to study and test to become a licensed realtor. The regulations and rules in the real estate industry are always evolving, and a new realtor will have all the latest juicy information on the standards in the industry and legalities to draw from. Realtors who have more experience under their belts typically aren’t as interested in keeping up with all the newest changes in the industry standards. For sales and purchases, your best bet will be to work closely with a realtor who has all the current legal and industry standards still fresh in their mind.
2. Extra Attention to the Agency/Brokerage
During the time a new realtor signs on with a brokerage or an agency, there is typically a small window of time that they will receive a lending hand from experienced realtors, legal teams, advisors, and brokers. The agency or brokerage that the new realtor is working with may want to see them succeed and help them with the newest listings and working with a buyer or seller. If you wish to list with a new realtor, that listing won’t only need to be considered carefully by the whole team that the new realtor is working with, offering support and insight. This is akin to the whole team of realtors focusing on the purchase or listing and being fully invested as a whole group in the transaction working in your favor. This can mean better consideration and service than a single solitary and busy realtor will offer.
3. Devotion and Time
The most busy and successful realtor will pay undivided attention to the listing and property that is hoped to be bought, which is important to you as the client. Once a realtor gets busy, they can’t look after endless listings without having the work delegated to support staff and fellow realtors. When working with a new realtor, chances are good they have more time on their hands to devote themselves to your listing or go on the hunt for the perfect property. Whether you are selling a hard-to-sell property or you are looking for a home that meets a specific list of requirements, a new realtor is more likely able to devote more time to cater to your needs than a very busy realtor would be able to do.
4. New, Fun Ideas
A newer realtor will come into the business with new, fresh ideas and an enthusiasm for trying them all out. If you want to work closely with a realtor who is open to all of your ideas, a newer realtor is ideal for new, unique marketing approaches. Newer realtors are savvy with newer forms of technology, whether it is the use of social media or different avenues of online marketing techniques that will stand out among the rest. For this purpose, a new realtor will bring a new approach that you are looking for. Experienced realtors who have been working in a specific region for years can come with biases against property types or certain neighborhoods and may not be interested in showing listings that you are potentially interested in for the above reasons. A new realtor is less likely to have such biases and will be pretty open to several things.
Bottom Line
Opting to work with a new realtor can first seem like a risky choice, but the advantages will quickly outweigh the disadvantages. How much dedication a realtor puts toward your needs will depend solely on the individual as well as the years of experience or lack of it. In some ways, a new realtor you make connections with can bring a new, fresh approach and extra time to your findings, and that is what truly matters.
