I am going to be talking about an infographic that I found on the National Association of Realtors website. Click here to view the infographic.
This is an infographic that is mainly educational about why real estate agents are very helpful during the home-buying process. It doesn’t have a specific call to action but given all the facts it is persuasive to get people to use a real estate agent. I like this infographic because it shows you three different ways to maximize the value of your real estate agent. I think this would encourage people to use an agent because it shows how you can benefit from them in ways that people may not think about.
Real estate agents are experts in the process
The first way that this infographic mentions that you can benefit is that real estate agents know more about the buying process than anyone. They are able to access large databases that show all available homes in given areas through the local broker marketplaces. Real estate agents can also help with negotiations and paperwork. This section of the infographic gives a lot of information about why they will make your life easier in the process.
Different compensation models for different services
There are the full-service model, flat fee model, and reduced service/discounted fee models. Each of these models offers different levels of guidance and help you can receive from your agent during the buying process. I think this is super helpful for people to know because it might change someone’s mind about using an agent if they know the different compensation models. Having knowledge about the different models might just be what makes someone use an agent.
Real estate agents take all the hard work off your hands
Real estate agents are licensed and have a lot of knowledge about all the different aspects of buying a home. They have community knowledge about taxes and schools etc… They also have financial knowledge about mortgage rates and getting in contact with lenders. They also know about legal aspects and can help with all the paperwork and documents. I like this section because many people don’t think of all the paperwork and documents that come along with the process and knowing that someone will take all the hard work off your hands will make the process as enjoyable as it should be.
Buying a home is a very big commitment and a big step in life, having someone with knowledge about every aspect of the home-buying process will make it so much more exciting and less stressful. I think this infographic is great because it shows all the ways you can be benefitted. Even though it doesn’t have a call to action, it can definitely persuade someone to use a real estate agent.
