Is your property being advertised right?
Ask your agent to provide you with a copy of your listing(s). As an informed sellers, knowing the percentage or audience your property would appeal too, can give you the ability to know when to place your home or land for sale on the market. A professional should share that information with you and as a result be capable of targeting the right prospectives, when advertising your property.
How Agents get paid in Belize
By Alexia Malo
Most buyers recruit the services of a real estate professional when buying a house or parcel of land in Belize. It only makes sense - agents have experience in dealing with the many issues surrounding the process, and they usually have the homes listed for sale. But the question often comes up: "How do agents get paid and who is responsible for that payment?" It's a good question… here is how agents get paid in Belize.
First, I need to state that every agent must work for a broker and under a strong code of ethics. Usually the name of the broker can be found on the agent's business card or "for sale" sign. That broker is the one licensed with the country to do business. If it is a franchised broker, the name may be a familiar one, such as Coldwell Banker, Remax or Century 21. But it may be a local concern, or even a private individual. In any instance, the broker is licensed to list and sell properties countrywide. In Belize, there are very little franchises and most licensed brokers own their real estate firm under a variety of different names that are particular to Belize and still as efficient as renowned franchise names you may be more familiar with in the States or Canada.
The broker determines how his own agents will be compensated. Agents are usually compensated on what is called a "commission split," meaning that a broker will get a percentage of the commissions that an agent brings in the door.
In addition, brokers set the commissions they will accept on properties listed for sale with their firm. In our Belize market across the nation, brokers charge 10% of the eventual selling price if the property sells during the listing period. Agents then receive a portion of the 10%, essentially a sales commission paid by the broker. This is the basic commission fee, but it is not uncommon that brokers will offer lower commission rates or provide their sellers with additional advantages.
If you like to verify if the Belize broker, you would like to hire is a licensed brokers or professional dealing closely with real estate. You can visit the member’s page of the Association of Real Estate Brokers of Belize. All top professionals and licensed brokers of Belize are listed there.

How to know if you have the right team working for you?
|
|
Who is your team? Well, it’s simple your team should consist of you and the network of professionals your Agent works with. - Giving you more power. However, it is important to know what advantages your agent has to offer that will place him or her on the map of a bigger cutting edge network. Studies made by the National Association of Realtors in 2006 have showed that more and more buyers are using the net to locate prospective homes and properties around the world.
Is your agent using the right tools to maximize your listings exposure? It is important to network locally. However, many buyers have reported that most listings found on the web where not of true character when viewed on location. Why is that? Because, either they were insufficient high quality pictures provided with the listings or your listing was lost in a pool of listings.
Let’s make it easier for you to understand. What does networking mean in a realtor’s world?
Networking means that real estate professionals connect with one another by way of their websites. By creating powerful listings and “handshakes”, your listings can be exposed and posted not only on your broker/Agent website but also on the websites of other qualified professionals locally and internationally. You might think that you have already accomplished that by signing a non-exclusive. However, knowing what his or her marketing, advertising and networking tools are could save you a lot of time and procure you with higher return. So, if your agent does network is his/her network connected to the busiest real estate marketplaces?
For example: If you have the best sirloin in town, would you like it to be posted in the classified selling leftovers for soup stock? Every listing to me is of the same high importance and I meant no offence by my example. However, the importance of knowing how to target and put your listing(s) within the right audience view is crucial to your listings success. So, is the importance of knowing your agent network. If you would like to read or know more about how we can post and expose your listings to a wider network?
Contact us it will be our pleasure to share with you the REAL key factors of a quick property sale.
Looking forward to working for you!
