VETTING ESTATE AGENTS PROVES COMPETENCE
It is said that on average, most New Zealanders only sell five properties in their lifetime so getting this decision right (or wrong) can be life changing - especially in today's market.
People might think the top Wellington real estate agents would be those that sell the most properties. However, we know that the quality of service and results they achieve for their vendors are a better measure.

REAL ESTATE AGENT INTEGRITY & KNOWLEDGE
Buying and selling requires real estate agents to have a high level of:
- Marketing properties digitally and especially if trying to tap into overseas buyers and ex-pats
- Industry competence and accuracy
- Legal responsibility
- Technical knowledge such as earthquake strengthening or apartment blocks
- Compliance obligations
- Negotiation skills
- Tact and interpersonal attributes
Despite the complexities, it is still relatively easy to become a licensed real estate agent in Wellington which is why vetting of licensed real estate agents is so important for you.
REAL ESTATE PROCESS MOST TESTING FOR AGENTS
Even if your property looks straight forward to sell, the buyer may have more complex issues requiring the assistance of a capable agent to manage each issue tactfully and within often tight timeframes.
Real estate agents assist buyers with mortgages, valuations, building inspections, acquisition of titles, LIMs, PIMs, Council compliance, surveys and interpret and communicate the meaning of content in these. They also coordinate with lawyers, most often under considerable pressure for time.
It is after the sale and purchase agreement has been signed, that is often the most testing part of the process for both sellers and agents. All vendors need a real estate agent who is capable of managing the process to completion or they risk the sale falling over.
The scope of a real estate agent's capability is essential for vendors. Call 0800 789 532 for advice first.

"I was over the moon with the sale price we achieved, but more importantly the whole real estate process has been stress free! We found our real estate agent to be outstanding in his professionalism. Thank you so much for recommending him to me... I was beginning to think that I was going to have a bit of a nightmare on my hands after spending a week talking with some other real estate agents who were selling in the area. Thank you for your agent recommendations". - Jo
