6 Advantages of Working with A Real Estate Team vs. a Solo Agent

By Mark Deering | 09/19/2024 |

Buying or selling a home is one of the most significant decisions you will make in your lifetime. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned real estate investor, one of the most important choices you’ll face is whether to work with an individual real estate agent or a team. While an individual agent can certainly get the job done, there are several reasons why working with a real estate team, specifically our team is a better choice. In this blog, we’ll explore why partnering with our team offers more advantages than working with a single agent.

1. Diverse Expertise and Specialization

Real estate is a complex process with many moving parts, from pricing and marketing to negotiation and legal documentation. Our team brings together specialists in each of these areas, ensuring that every step of your transaction is handled by an expert. On our team, we have both a transaction coordinator and a marketing manager. By having both of these roles on our team, you get the advantage of multiple people working on your side rather than one person handling all aspects of the process.

2. More Availability and Flexibility

One of the most significant advantages of working with our team is that you’re never left hanging. An individual agent can only be in one place at a time and maybe juggling multiple clients. Our team, on the other hand, has the bandwidth to ensure someone is always available to answer your questions, conduct showings, or handle any issues that arise. This makes the process faster and more efficient, especially in a competitive market where timely responses can make or break a deal.

3. Enhanced Marketing Power

Marketing is a crucial part of selling a home, and it’s an area where our team excels! Our team has a specific marketing budget and team member who creates high-quality marketing items around your home. We’ve created a top-notch strategy that gets your home in front of more eyes! Through the use of home staging, professional photography, and professional videography, we make sure your home looks amazing and will attract the right buyers. Something else that is an advantage with our team is our wide network! Between the 6 members of our team, we have over 9,000 connections on social media, and we also work within a huge brokerage where we can market your home to thousands of buyers. All of this provides access to more potential buyers, helping your property sell faster and at a better price.

4. Collective Problem-Solving and Support

Real estate transactions can be complicated, and problems are bound to arise. When you work with our team, you’re not just relying on one person’s experience or intuition—you benefit from the collective wisdom and experience of the entire group. Our team collectively has over 35 years of experience in real estate, and you get to take advantage of it! We brainstorm solutions to challenges like appraisal issues, financing delays, or inspection concerns constantly. Our collaborative approach means your problems get solved faster, leading to a smoother transaction overall.

5. Faster, More Seamless Transactions

Time is of the essence in real estate, especially in a hot market. With multiple people working on your behalf, our real estate team can often move faster than an individual agent. Whether it’s scheduling showings, negotiating offers, or getting the necessary paperwork in order, our team approach minimizes delays. We can handle several tasks simultaneously, ensuring that your deal progresses as quickly and smoothly as possible.

6. Built-In Backup and Accountability

One of the challenges of working with an individual agent is that if something goes wrong—whether it’s illness, vacation, or personal emergency—you’re left without representation. Our team eliminates this risk. If one member is unavailable, another team member can easily step in to ensure continuity. Additionally, because of the team aspect, we hold each other accountable to achieve excellence in every transaction.

Conclusion

Working with our real estate team offers a host of advantages that can make your buying or selling experience more efficient, seamless, and successful, while still giving you that personalized touch. From specialized staff members and greater availability to enhanced marketing power and problem-solving capabilities, you’ll have a tough time finding an agent or team who can match our level of service. Whether you’re looking to buy your dream home or sell a property quickly and profitably, partnering with The Deering Team ensures that you have multiple professionals dedicated to making your transaction as smooth and successful as possible.
