The most important factors when choosing a real estate agent. Real estate advertising these days will have you believe that you should not waste your money when you can get the same service for a fraction of the price – which would be good advice, if only it were accurate. Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, Adrian Goslett, warns consumers not to base their decision for listing a property with an agent or agency on something like commission fees, but rather on an agent’s ability to sell the home in the fastest amount of time and for as close to full-value as possible. “Don’t let money blind you. The highest evaluation isn’t necessarily the most accurate, and the lowest commission will not necessarily end up saving you money. Homes that sit on the market for long periods of time, either because an agent isn’t doing enough to market the property or because the home is priced incorrectly, lose more and more appeal over time. Sellers are eventually forced to lower their initial asking prices and sell their homes for a lot less than what they would have received if the home was marketed correctly and priced accurately at the start,” explains Goslett.
2. “Next, sellers should ask whether this estate agent has a proven track record of completed sales. The best way to know if an agent can live up to his/her promises is if they’ve been able to do so for others in the past. Ask them how long it took to make their last sale and whether or not they have any sales achievement awards to prove their merit.” 3. “It is also helpful if an agent is affiliated to an established brand whose resources can be tapped into in order to help sell the home in the quickest amount of time. Brands with a large national and international reach give properties the widest amount of exposure which tends to help sell homes faster.” 4. “Once presented with an evaluation, sellers should ask to be walked through how the estate agent arrived at the number, and then carefully consider if it makes sense. An accurate evaluation will factor in things such as specific features of the home, value of properties sold in the suburb, and current economic conditions affecting buyer’s ability to purchase.” 5. “Lastly, sellers should consider whether this specific real estate professional has the kind of personality, knowledge, and internal drive to make sure your property sells at the highest accurate price and in the shortest amount of time. Consider how easily contactable this agent is, and whether this person is knowledgeable about the local market and the real estate industry in general. Remember – an agent’s commission is not just for selling a home, but also for his/her time in helping you navigate through all the complicated realities of presenting an offer and finalizing the paperwork.”
To help sellers choose a real estate professional that can be relied upon to deliver on their promises, Goslett suggests that sellers ask the following questions before Source - My Property agreeing to market their homes with any real estate professional:
Read Article, Professional Branding In Real Estate. Some useful
1. “The very first question sellers need to ask is whether this person is qualified with a valid FFC and registered with the EAAB that regulates the industry. Dealing with an estate agent who doesn’t have these credentials puts sellers at risk of working through somebody who may not be up to date with all the necessary requirements in handling property transactions.”

Professional Branding in Real Estate Brands can be places, things, an organisation, and even people. Branding is a key tool in the competitive world of real estate. It is how you stand out in the crowd. But what is most important to market – the agent or the brand? Most estate agents would say the agent, but what if you work for a corporate brand? Ted Frazer, Seeff national marketing manager, weighs in on this often contentious issue in the property industry worldwide. Branding is a key tool to help estate agents stand out in the crowd and how customers come to recognise brands which have been tried and tested and stood the test of time. Brands are what customers look for because they carry an inherent value of service and trust (or at least they should).
If the primary relationship entity is the corporate brand, then the agents (individuals) would need to be “ambassadors” of the corporate brand value-set – ostensibly being personal “touchpoints” or access points – that deliver the “promise” being made by the corporate brand entity.

So how do organisation and personal brands live together? And which is more important? The critical point of departure is to determine the entity with whom we wish our customer to have the “relationship”? If we believe that the agent is the primary relationship entity, then the organisational brand provides little more than a credible “umbrella”, with the brand messaging communication being left up to the individual. Naturally, this would have better success within a smaller community, where the individual would be able to promote their own brand and values to a closed audience.
Using a political analogy: An ambassador for a specific country is an individual that represents and reflects the values of their specific country. When despatched to another region, they are representing the Are real estate agents brands?

5 Things an attorney wishes Landlords knew about evictions!
Evicting A Tenant Ranks Among Landlords’ Biggest Concerns. Make Sure There Are Legal Checks And Balances In Place For Owners at all times. Here are 5 things attorneys wish Landlords know about evictions. 1. Ownership Rights Outweigh Occupation Rights
While there are procedures in place pertaining to residential evictions, legislation such as the Prevention of Illegal Evictions and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act balances this out. The fact that owners are entitled to obtain eviction orders confirms this right. Divorce is the best analogy. While you may have a court order to get divorced, you still have rights as a spouse if you are in an unhappy or abusive marriage.
2. Residential Evictions Are Technical If an attorney is not well-versed in residential evictions, it can lead to a protracted, costly process. Owners should therefore employ a specialist they can trust. They should also consider educating themselves on the process via books or
the physical eviction. The sheriff determines these costs, which differ between cases. The attorney has little control over this part of the process. In many situations, the sheriff requires assistance from the South African Police Service, which can further delay the eviction. If owners are unprepared for this part of the process, it can also lead to frustration.
5. Communication Needs To Happen Through The Attorney
blogs – an attorney can provide direction on suitable reading material. Additional knowledge will help landlords ease some of the stress associated with an eviction.
3. Alternative Methods Don’t Work Too many owners approach attorneys after trying varying creative – and illegal – approaches to get rid of problem tenants. By this time, the owner has often given the tenant sufficient ammunition to delay the eviction. This in turn can lead to frustration, a strained relationship between the landlord and tenant, and an opposed eviction – effectively wasting more time and money. In terms of arbitrary evictions, once the Rental Housing Amendment Act is promulgated, these actions will be criminalised and punishable by jail or fines.
Once the lease agreement has been cancelled or eviction proceedings commence, contacting the illegal occupant can cause untold problems. For example, if the lease is cancelled and the owner communicates with the occupant, indicating an agreement still exists, it may lead to its tacit reinstatement. This means the whole process restarts. Hence, once landlords give instructions to the attorney, it’s essential to communicate through the attorney. “If an attorney is not well-versed in residential evictions, it can lead to a protracted, costly process” Written by: Cilna Steyn Property Professional Writers Profile: Cilna Steyn is an attorney specialising in evictions and is the founding partner and MD of SSLR Incorporated. She is the author of The Landlord’s Guide – Property Rental and Eviction, and publishes articles regularly.
4. The Court Order Is Not The End Of The Process Once the attorney obtains the eviction order, the tenant has a specific time period in which to vacate the premises. If this does not happen, the attorney instructs an officer to undertake
