Should you use one or two real estate agents to sell your property?
Justin, one of our listeners, has 2 properties up for sale. But two real estate agents want to sell them in different ways. And he's scratching his head over which strategy to go for.
In this episode, we get down to the nitty-gritty of sole agency versus general agency contracts. I.e. should he use 1 or 2 real estate agents?
We talk about the pros and cons of both options. With a sole agency, you might get better service, but your property's exposure is limited to one network.
With a general agency, your property potentially gets seen by more people, but there are potential conflicts and extra costs to consider.
And just to keep things spicy, we look at Justin's specific situation. Plus, Andrew shares a real-life experience from a few years back when he was in Justin's shoes.
Main topics discussed:
Sole vs General AgencySelling strategies for adjacent properties
Real-life experiences in property selling
Pros and cons of both agency options
