"If your Kelowna real estate is listed for sale and is still not selling you need to scrutinize the factors responsible starting with the credibility of your Kelowna real estate agent."

Kelowna property prices as of the current trend has not seen much of a rise and still lags behind compared to the one shown last year. There is almost a 50% decrease in the property unit sales this year as compared to 2009. Kelowna is constantly developing as a vibrant city and many waterfront properties and other real estates in and out of the city are gaining preference by high-end buyers. Sellers, however, have to strategize their real estate marketing and selling in order to reap maximum benefits out of it.

The common seller relies on reputed Kelowna real estate agents, but are they really what we deduce from how they present themselves to us in terms of their field of expertise and occupation knowledge and genuineness? “Real estate agents earn their living strictly by commission. They do not get paid unless they close a real estate transaction. In any given locale, there are literally hundreds (in some cases, thousands) of real estate agents all vying for a very limited number of real estate closings each year. Competition is more than fierce. Therefore, agents are forced to find ways to set themselves apart from their competition”, says Mr. Kim Balsman, a former licensed Century 21 agent and Realtor.

He adds further, “They are quite adept at picking up on the fears and naiveté of potential clients and will, unfortunately, not hesitate to tell you what they know you want to hear. Some people may claim some allegiance to a particular agency because that agency helped them in the past or someone they know works there. However, I worked for the #1 ranked agency in the world, and I can tell you with unabashed honestly that it seldom helped me to compete for listings. I lost listings to smaller, nearly unknown firms for a variety of reasons.”

Whether you are a buyer or a seller of Kelowna real estate you need to take charge of the property dealings directly or indirectly rather than being controlled by just what your agent asks you to do. There are many other factors that help you cut a lucrative deal. There is no harm when you demand answers from your agent to everything under the sun that is relevant to your real estate dealings. Assess other prudential elements of property purchase or sale like the price, marketing strategies, your specific goals on the deal, get some timely legal assistance on your rights as a buyer or seller as per the local laws and do not let your agent run the puppet show all on his own.
