What does an Estate Agent Do?

Whether buying, selling, renting, or letting a property, an estate agent’s expertise guides clients through the maze of legalities, negotiations, and decision-making. In this article, we delve into the multifaceted roles an estate agent plays and spotlight what sets Belvoir apart in the industry.

The Role of an Estate Agent

Property Valuation and Rental Assessment

An estate agent starts with a comprehensive assessment of the property’s value if it’s for sale, or the rental price if it’s for letting. This involves detailed analysis of current market conditions, location, property size, condition, and other crucial factors. The result is a competitive price that resonates with the prevailing market trends.

Marketing and Promotion

Marketing is an essential phase where estate agents utilise various channels, from traditional print media to modern online platforms, to reach potential buyers or tenants. Professional photography, virtual tours, engaging descriptions, and strategic placements can make a property stand out.

Viewing, Negotiation, and Tenant Screening

Estate agents coordinate viewings, managing schedules to ensure potential buyers or renters can see the property. They also negotiate terms between parties and will conduct tenant referencingfor rentals, ensuring compatibility and financial responsibility suitability.

Legal Compliance and Administrative Support

Dealing with legalities and paperwork is often daunting. Estate agents ease this burden by assisting with contracts, liaising with solicitors, and ensuring all legal obligations are met. In rentals, they prepare tenancy agreements and handle deposits, following regulations to safeguard both parties. They also handle “right to rent” checks, credit checks and reference gathering.

Property Management for Lettings

For landlords, many estate agents offer complete property management services. This often includes maintenance, inspections, inventory collation, rent collection, and resolving tenant issues, providing a hassle-free experience for landlords.
