To ensure the success of a real estate transaction, we need to have the best possible information, especially when it comes to investing in luxury real estate. Decisions made without proper advice can result in considerable financial losses, rather than just surprises. In an increasingly competitive, and saturated real estate investment industry, it is more important than ever to have experts in the field.
What can a real estate agent do for you?
- Access to unpublished properties
While we can all access the most well-known platforms where ads are indiscriminately published, in certain markets, such as the luxury and high-end housing sector, things are different. Not all owners are interested in these channels and prefer a more exclusive and confidential approach to potential buyers.
To find the perfect property that fits our budget and goals, a real state agent become a key piece thanks to the access they have to privileged information. It is an off-market segment motivated at times by the discretion of those large property owners who prefer not to advertise their properties or personal belongings too much.
This translates into time savings that interests the future buyer or tenant. Because real state agents have already pre-screened the most interesting and competitive offers, they know how to separate the wheat from the chaff and have exclusive offers that, as we already pointed out, are not found on those main platforms.
There are districts with very marked and differential characteristics in Madrid. This is the case of the Salamanca neighborhood, where many buildings have a century or a century and a half of history, which is a value but also involves constraints that require updates to prepare them for the demands of the 21st century. At real estate agencies like HousinGo by David de Gea, we have all the know-how to offer the best properties and facilitate the procedures and processes to follow for renovations.
- Mediation in negotiations
The lack of experience of one of the parties can lead to many mistakes in the negotiations during the real estate transaction. In addition, the position of having to defend one's own interests, as a buyer, limits their power.
In this scenario, real state agents contribute to bringing positions closer together, offering their support to the future buyer or tenant, protecting their interests, and accompanying them throughout the process.
Real state agents know the small and big print, the legal ins and outs, as well as all the processes and procedures to be carried out that sometimes lead to a bureaucratic maze.
There are other figures, such as professionals from management offices and lawyers, who can also perform these tasks, but they may sometimes exceed the real needs of clients. Good advisors can perform them quickly and effectively and look after the well-being of the operation.
- Experience is a degree, and in real estate, even more so
While many individuals and real estate professionals may have some knowledge of the industry, it is advisable to act with caution when it comes to making economically significant transactions.
Especially when we talk about real buying and selling operations, which involve a very specific complexity and particularities. Let's not forget that on the same street, unlike other cities in Spain, there can be large variations in terms of price and conditions of a house.
Madrid is a very competitive, dynamic, active market with great movements and projection. An optimal scenario for investment as long as it is done with the necessary guarantees and the best professionals in the field.
This is where specialized professional advice comes in, such as that offered by HousinGo by David de Gea, with its street-level offices that know firsthand the peculiarities of such an attractive and unpredictable sector. Trusting them is the first step to closing the best deals.
