Our job as Real Estate professionals is to inform, educate, and assist clients with renting, buying, selling, or investing in the best property that matches their needs.
Renters can benefit from using a Real Estate Agent in NYC. Overall we all live a busy and hectic life, and don't have the extra hours to spend searching and visiting apartments that may not meet your needs. People are constantly moving in and out of neighborhoods, and renters are always trying to find the gem of deals.
The Top 5 Reason Renters Need a Real Estate Agent:
- Inventory - A good agent knows their inventory inside and out, especially off market listings that can't be found online. This comes from building relationships with landlords and supers. You as a customer want someone that knows the inventory because the rental market moves at an unpredictable rate. Constantly, units are pulled, reduced, or rented within hours, if not minutes. Finding a Real Estate professional is key to cutting your time in half, choose someone that is pro.
- Specializes in an area / market - You as a customer want to always pick someone that specializes in the area that you want to live. For example, I can tell you every historical detail, grocery store, events, bars, restaurants, train lines and more. Your agent must be an expert navigator and tour guide. Our job is to inform and educate you on the neighborhood of your choice. If you want to live in TriBeCa, choose an agent that focuses on that area.
- Negotiation - Everyone believes that they are an expert negotiator, but frankly you're not. Remember that everything in Real Estate is negotiable. A professional agent knows how to negotiate in terms of rent, lease date, move in date, security deposit, and brokers fee. Also, agents deal with the same buildings everyday and have relationships with the management companies. You might not think its a big deal but when you save $1200 dollars a year on rent, it makes life a whole lot easier.
- Interest - Real Estate agents sometimes get a bad representation because of the few horrible brokers out there. An agent should always be looking out for your best interest. We navigate our clients to the properties that will work for them and never push a sale. Our firm provides a service of excellence to our clients and focus' on putting you into the best property that matches your criteria.
- Time - You as a customer can spend hours looking online for listings and making hundreds of phone calls. We're in the business of saving you time and money on your Real Estate needs. The same way that you use a mechanic to fix your car. You're not obligated to use a mechanic, but its makes your life easier knowing that a professional is fixing your car, this is the same rational for using a Real Estate agent.
