Why do you need an estate agent?

Information for a sellers and buyers: why do you need to use the services of an estate agent?

For the seller and the buyer
By not trying to take any shortcuts and by using an Estate Agent both parties ...
~ will be introduced to a legal document to start either the selling or the buying of any said property.
~ By introducing this document called "The Offer to Purchase" the Estate Agent will explain that this document should:
- Not contain ANY open or blank spaces when signed
- Have an exact occupational date in
- Explain the duties of both buyer and seller UNTIL the date of transfer
~ Both parties will enjoy the professional advice, skills and expertise of a registered estate agent, to insure that their interests are well taken care of.
The estate agent should explain clearly that the offer to purchase becomes only LEGAL and VALID once this document has been signed by BOTH parties.
