Why An Exclusive Mandate

• Avoid paying double commission
  If agent A introduces Mr. Jones and later agent B introduces Mrs. Jones, both have a claim for commission.
  
• A moral commitment between yourself and the agent
  You’re depending on the agent and he knows it – if he does not do the job nobody will – you hold one agent accountable and responsible.
  
• Monitoring and control of the agents marketing plan
  Together we will plan our marketing strategy – and put it in writing. We will start will start working from day one and not let up until your property is sold.
  
• You will receive regular feedback
  Open Mandate agents will not give true feedback about price in case the price is adjusted and the opposition has a buyer at that price.
  
• Advertising
  A far more generous advertising budget is allocated to Sole Mandates as the company is assured that this money shall not be wasted.
  
• Your property becomes top priority
  A good agent can only handle so many properties efficiently – Sole Mandates always receive top priority.
  
• More agents do not mean more buyers
  No agent has a Sole Mandate on a buyer. Our network of 50 offices referring clients nationwide ensures that we have access to all buyers in the market at any one time.
  
• Time to secure the highest price
  The agent will not pressurise you into accepting an offer simply because he is afraid that the opposition might try and pip him at the post. We can negotiate with our buyer and in fact, create competition between buyers to ensure that you realise the highest price possible.
  
• Control
  A single price is quoted, viewing times are set, one reason for selling is given, advertising is consistent. All control is lost when dealing with more than one agent.
  
• Security and privacy
  Valuable goods need to be looked after in your home. Selling a home is also a very personal matter, the reasons for which do not have to be discussed with all and sundry.
  
• Your property will not be used as a springboard
  It is common practice for agents to first show prospective buyers overpriced non mandated properties to make their property priced Mandated houses look more attractive. Buyers purchase by comparison.
  
• No Mandate, no motivation
  The agent needs to allocate all his time and energy into the selling of a property – would he do this if it could be for nothing?

REMEMBER IF, IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF OUR AGENT NOT LIVING UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND HIS MARKETING PLAN, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISCUSS THIS WITH THE PRINCIPAL…
