The Expanding Global Role of Local Estate Agents

It wasn’t so long ago that a local estate agent’s remit would rarely expand outside of their local area, but with the rise of technology and the ubiquitousness of internet access estate agents now must cast their eye much further afield.

A number of websites now exist, such as www.immoabroad.com, which offers potential holiday/second home buyers the opportunity to easily browse a number of different possible homes in the locations of their dreams. This means that a local estate agent who really wants to be as prepared as possible now has a consistent learning resource, not only to field any questions that may come from interested local clients.

Technology is making the world smaller

While technology has made the information much easier to access, people are still likely to have detailed questions about the reality of purchasing a second home abroad and what their options are – it makes sense for an estate agent to prep themselves as well as they’re able in order to field these questions with authority.

Fostering a global partnership

Local estate agents and those who cater to properties abroad are not in competition with one another, indeed more needs to be done to foster profitable partnership in which resources and learning is shared, for mutual benefit and the benefit of customers. A specialist website like Immoabroad wills not only have a wide variety of properties available to browse via different filters; they will also be an invaluable resource for learning more about the process of choosing, viewing, and ultimately buying a second home abroad.

Collaborations for specialist knowledge

Though the world is smaller, the process of buying a second home in a foreign country is still an undertaking that requires a degree of specialist knowledge; there’s no better place to learn than from those who consider it their speciality. It isn’t just applicable to those who want to buy abroad however; those who wish to sell existing properties also require a degree of specialist help and assistance, the like of which can be provided by an informed agent. Whether it’s assistance with paperwork and the right avenues in which to advertise for the best profit, or just a guiding hand in the next step of the selling process, there is valuable customer engagement to be found.

More and more people are buying second homes abroad, so it makes sense for local estate agents to offer a service in line with this trend. Through partnering up with specialist companies, both growth in profit and enhanced customer service are easily attainable goals.
