Individual Real Estate Agents vs. Real Estate Teams


There are many benefits to working with a real estate team over an individual agent. I will go over the top three benefits today.


There are many benefits to working with a real estate team versus an individual agent. I would like to share a few of those benefits with you today.

First of all, you get specialization. For example, if you are looking to buy a home, we have agents that only work with buyers. When they wake up in the morning, all they do is search for homes for you. They look at traditional sources, like the MLS, and also look into pocket listings that may not be available to you online. Buyer’s agents will also canvass neighborhoods that you’re interested in to find sellers that might not have listed yet.

We also have agents that specialize in listings. Listing agents wake up and work hard to sell your home. They optimize your home for search engines, make sure you get professional photographs of your home, and work with buyer’s agents to negotiate the best terms for you.

Real estate teams provide specialization.


The second benefit of working with a team is time. Everybody needs a day off now and then. If you work with an individual agent who takes the day off, you are adding time to your home search or home sale. By working with a team, if your agent takes the day off, someone else will be available to help you. That way, you get more one-on-one time to help you find the right home or sell your current one.

Finally, real estate teams have more resources. Our team has a dedicated marketing division that works with buyers and sellers full time. We also have a transaction coordinator and listing coordinator; they work to keep you informed throughout your transaction. The transaction coordinator and listing coordinator also create a more efficient real estate transaction.
