What do you really get from a real estate agent in 2019. What exactly do they bring to the table? In today’s video we’ll cover these questions and a lot more for both buyers and sellers. ### Watch Now:      Our goal with this video is to bring you the facts, educate, inform and debunk any myths surrounding the real estate industry in a social and technology driven world. ### On the seller side, we discuss: How technology has made it easier to market your home, with the caveat being that there is a lot more that goes into it The trap of entertaining unqualified buyers (their offers, people coming in and out of your home, without knowing if that buyer is qualified ready and willing to purchase that home). Negotiations and how an agent can represent your best interest every step of the way How real estate agents can help you get the most money if you're buying or selling a home Dealing with paperwork (dozens of forms, amendments, etc.) and protecting yourself legally to avoid a hefty backlash Knowing what buyers REALLY want and how agents can save you time and money to avoid unnecessary inconveniences.   ### **On The Buyers Side We Discuss: ** Commissions and how there is little to no cost in tapping into the power of a real estate agent as commissions are paid for by the sellers (its basically free!) How sellers often expect you’re working with an agent when you come to the property The resources, knowledge, and experience to draw off of (especially if it’s your first time buying a home!) How a real estate agent will save you time with the use of videos, 360 cameras, as well as with the qualification process, paper work, and negotiations etc. A deep dive into our unique marketing & technology strategy that utilizes both to best achieve your goal–completely catered towards your needs Lastly, we also talk about commissions from both angles (buyers and sellers) and how to ensure you're hiring someone that works hard for it. We hope you find this information helpful in making an informed decision. If you or someone you know is thinking about buying or selling their home, please send them this video or give us a call! -Team Steele Share [![Share on facebook](https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/facebook-color.png?width=39&name=facebook-color.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/do-you-really-need-a-real-estate-agent-in-2019?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook) [![Share on linkedin](https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/linkedin-color.png?width=39&name=linkedin-color.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/do-you-really-need-a-real-estate-agent-in-2019?utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin) Blog posts ### SIMILAR BLOG POSTS [![SEE ALL BLOG POSTS](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/2756673/14844045-54bf-4c52-a6bc-0f2ff7705105.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/2756673/14844045-54bf-4c52-a6bc-0f2ff7705105) ![no image](https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/hubfs/image%2044.png) 9 Ways Trump Could Impact The Real Estate World Photo credit: flickr.com [Read More](https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/9-ways-trump-impact-real-estate-world) ![](https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mel.steele_a_man_riding_up_an_escalator_1fe20cfa-5b1a-4aee-9ffe-35c92f155087.png?width=284&height=220&name=mel.steele_a_man_riding_up_an_escalator_1fe20cfa-5b1a-4aee-9ffe-35c92f155087.png) In Real Estate, What is an Escalation Clause?
