Three Reasons to Sell with an LBI Real Estate Agent During COVID
Long Beach Island Real Estate
The Long Beach Island real estate market is bustling right now. High demand, low inventory, and affordable interest rates have created the perfect sales cocktail. In this climate, many sellers are attempting to sell their home on their own. While this is something that takes place in any market (despite volumes of data pointing out that a FSBO nets LESS money than by using an agent), there are three fundamental reasons to use a local real estate agent in the age of COVID or coronavirus. They are:
Safety and lessening exposure
A robust online marketing campaign
Increased exposure to buyers
Coronavirus and Long Beach Island Real Estate Listing Agents
The safety of you and your family is first and foremost. A local agent can help to ensure that those viewing your home are following the proper protocols. Real estate agents can also help to ensure anyone seeing the house is qualified to do so. This will eliminate unnecessary showings and, in doing so, limit the number of people coming into the home. As real estate agents, we are used to online marketing. If the age of coronavirus has shown us anything, it is how virtual our lives have become. Highlighting your home online across multiple platforms can help ensure that more buyers see your home. As a follow up to this, listing a house with a local real estate agent will vastly increase the exposure to the marketplace. In this highly competitive market, the more buyers who see your home, the better the budding war chances. By listing a home as a FSBO, you will, without question, eliminate many buyers who only want to work with an agent to represent them. This alone can cost a small fortune if a potential buyer skips your home. The more directed exposure to qualified buyers you have, the more likely you will be able to sell your home for top dollar.

Apart from the above, a real estate agent will help guide you in pricing and the general market trends we see. This can help ensure your home is priced correctly at the time of the listing and as the marketing and timeline extend. Selling a home is a significant undertaking, and by working with local and experienced agents, you can help ensure your investment is secure. If you have any questions about buying, selling or investing in the LBI real estate market, please do not hesitate to contact me.
