Are you dealing with licensed real estate persons?

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Hi there fellow real estate enthusiasts! 🏡 We know that selling or buying a property can be quite the whirlwind. It's a world of paperwork, decisions, and, let's face it, a bit of stress.
But you know what? In NZ most homeowners still lean on licensed real estate professionals to make this journey smoother. 🏠
Here's the lowdown on why:

🔹 Effective Marketing: They know how to showcase your home to attract potential buyers.
🔹 Buyer Magicians: Finding the right buyer within your timeline? They've got it covered.
🔹 Pricing Pros: Your property gets priced competitively - no guesswork here.
🔹 Boosting Value: Get expert advice on how to boost your property's worth.
🔹 Home Presentation Tips: Ever wondered how to make your place look its absolute best for showings? They've got your back. 🌟
🔹 Paperwork & Negotiation Ninjas: Those nitty-gritty details? They're on it.

And if you're a buyer, working with licensed real estate professionals can be a game-changer.
Why? Because as a property buyer you’re better protected. When buying through professionals, you have a safety net through various Legislative Acts of Parliament.

Selling privately isn't classified as "in trade," which means activities might not be governed by the Fair Trading Act 1986. This, in turn, leaves consumers in a tricky spot.
If a private seller misrepresents their property or withholds crucial information, your only recourse is civil action. And that can be a costly and time-consuming process, with no guaranteed outcome.
Remember, the burden of proof in these civil actions falls solely on the person bringing the claim.

So, when you're making that big real estate move, choose wisely. Licensed professionals can make all the difference in the world.
