While trying to do it all yourself in an effort to save money may seem appealing on the surface, in my experience the knowledge and network that a seasoned real estate agent brings to the table are almost always well worth the price of commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to getting more qualified buyers in front of your property, your real estate agent or Land Professional is typically the most powerful tool at your disposal. Here are a few reasons to have a real estate agent at your side when it\u2019s time to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Expanding Your Buyer Pool With a Real Estate Agent&#8217;s Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplypsychology.org\/pareto-principle.html#What-is-the-Pareto-Principle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pareto Principle<\/a> tells us that in many events, 80% of the results are produced from 20% of the causes or input. In the world of a land broker, 80% of our business (buying &amp; selling) comes from 20% of our network of buyers. Most Land Professionals have a handful of buyers who are consistently eager to look at deals. Some of these buyers are long-time friends, others are investors, and some are just acquaintances met by chance through daily dealings. My point is, every agent has a small group of buyers they work with regularly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/l\/lawoflargenumbers.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">Law of Large Numbers<\/a> states that taking an average from a larger sample will be closer to the true average, or expected outcome, of the entire population compared to a smaller sample. In our case, the expected outcome is measured in dollars per acre. Here is where I\u2019m going with this: More buyers = larger sample size = offers closer to market value. This is true even before we look at laws of competition and human behavior.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now while those principles may seem confusing, it doesn\u2019t take a mathematician or statistician to understand this. As a seller, you want more buyers looking at your property. You want the most people possible to know your property is for sale. Moreover, you want a variety of those 20%s that produce 80% of your outcome.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stated simply, my 20% is probably around 5 buyers. Daily, I work closely with about 10 other Land Professionals. Let\u2019s say they all have 5 people who are actively looking to buy. By working with me, your pool of potential buyers from me alone has expanded to 5 and then 50.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can extrapolate that out further since each of the Land Professionals I work with is also working with other real estate professionals in the area. There are 25,000 real estate agents in Missouri alone. Let\u2019s take a conservative guess and say that 1\/10th of them work with land buyers. That takes my 5 buyers and makes 12,500 potential buyers. Finally, National Land Realty markets nationwide with our network of 400+ Land Professionals\u2026I\u2019ll let you do that math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Why an Agent is Worth it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are two shortcomings I have noticed in the market. First, some sellers choose to try and sell their property FSBO (For Sale By Owner) to avoid paying a commission. I get it, saving money is important. But math and experience show that you are better off selling to the masses rather than working with just your 20%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great real estate agent&#8217;s network and connections are invaluable, as well as their experience and negotiation abilities. Could you sell your property and avoid paying a commission? Maybe, but in many cases, the time and effort required to do so are well worth an agent\u2019s commission, not to mention the higher price an agent can oftentimes negotiate on your behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Should You Pay a Buyer&#8217;s Agent Commission?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, all the news regarding the <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/nar-settlement-misconceptions-debunked\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NAR settlement is creating a question<\/a> among sellers: \u201cShould I pay a buyer&#8217;s agent?\u201d My answer would be yes. Paying a buyer\u2019s agent means expanding the pool of potential buyers that will see your property, effectively turning your agent\u2019s 20% into thousands of potential buyers. Expanding your market could mean getting more money at closing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refusing to pay a buyer\u2019s agent commission could also result in your property sitting for longer on the market since buyer\u2019s agents will be less incentivized to show your property to their clients. As mentioned above, while everyone\u2019s looking to save money, in many cases it\u2019s worth it to pay a bit more for access to their network of qualified and willing buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everybody\u2019s situation is different, but in many cases, working with an experienced real estate agent is the right move to make. The power of a real estate agent\u2019s network cannot be overstated, especially when working with a nationwide brokerage like National Land Realty since you never know where a potential buyer might come from.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve got more questions about working with a real estate professional, please feel free to contact <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/real-estate-agent\/alec-wardenburg\">me<\/a> at Awardenburg@NationalLand.com or reach out to your local <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/real-estate-agents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Land Professional!<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the recent NAR settlement making headlines, many landowners are likely wondering about the true value of a real estate professional.
