BENEFITS OF A SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE MANDATE
There are countless benefits to the Seller in awarding an Exclusive Marketing Authority (Sole Mandate) to an Estate Agent. They can be expressed as follows:
Best Price:
-
Sole Mandated properties historically fetch the best market prices as there is not a mad scramble to see who can get their offer in first.
-
It gives the Agent negotiation time and power, to secure the best possible price for you.
-
Sole Agents will know if there is another offer coming in which will eliminate the Seller from signing an offer only to find out afterwards that a stronger offer was in progress.
Double Commission:
-
Seller only pays one commission. Protects the Seller from any possibility of a double commission claim.
Total Commitment:
-
Total commitment from our Agent – Our Agents put all their effort and money into marketing properties where Sole Mandates are in place. You back our agent; our agent backs you.
-
When you are listing with multiple agents, you are nobody’s responsibility. Agents do not take responsibility for properties where they have no mutual commitment.
Buyers Control:
-
All Buyers come through one Agency: Feedback from only one source – not contradictory.
-
Offers presented from Credit checked and approved buyers (avoiding time wasters)
