Buying and selling properties in Nepal is a lengthy and complicated process that can have many hassles along the way. While real estate agents have dominated the country’s real estate market for a long time now, people are starting to see the advantages of choosing a real estate company instead. Here’s why you should choose a real estate company over a real estate agent in Nepal for buying and selling properties:
Wide Range of Services
Real Estate Companies handle everything from property valuation, marketing, legal assistance, to post-sale services. This means you can relax while they do all the work for you.
On the other hand, real estate agents might not have the resources to cover every aspect. This means they might need outside help resulting in extra costs and more waiting time.
Market Expertise and Network
Real estate companies have teams of experts who know the inside and out of local markets. They know property values and legal requirements better than individual agents.
In addition, they have a bigger network than agents meaning that finding the right buyer or seller can take less time.
An individual agent might know the area he/she works in well but they normally have less resources and network than a company which can limit your opportunities.
Reliability and Professionalism
Established companies always maintain high standards of professionalism and are much reliable and accountable. Also, they are regulated and follow industry standards.
This does not mean all agents are unprofessional and unreliable but it can vary from agent to agent. There’s a greater probability of having to deal with inexperienced agents causing several problems during your transaction.
Legal and Financial Assistance
The legal and financial side of buying and selling properties in Nepal is a lengthy process that can be full of hassles. While agents have knowledge about these, you may need to hire a separate professional for legal matters which adds to your cost.
Big companies have in-house legal teams and financial advisors to help with everything making your experience smooth and hassle free.
Customer Support and After-Sales Service
After the deal is done, agents’ support can vary. Some may leave you to handle any problems that come after sale on your own. In contrast, companies continue to support you and have dedicated customer service teams to address your concerns even after sales.
For a long time now, the real estate market in Nepal has been relying on local real estate agents. However, this is now changing with the rise of real estate companies. While both have their advantages, your experience is generally much smoother with companies due to their expertise, professionalism, legal expertise, and wide range of services.
