Giving a sole mandate to a real estate agent means you give the agent the exclusive right to sell your property and that is a very important decision to make.

So, should you give a sole mandate to a real estate agent? How will this benefit you?

You should seriously consider giving a sole mandate because, normally, it means that you get a more dedicated marketing service from the agent. The reasons for this are fairly obvious:

• A sole agent will commit to give more attention to selling your property than to open mandate properties
• A sole agent will commit to a marketing plan to maximise exposure for your property
• A sole agent will commit to spend money on advertising your property
• Having a sole agent means that all viewings and potential buyers are scheduled to suit your calender
• A sole agent will commit to regular feedback and reports

While it may seem to be better to have multiple agents marketing your property the opposite is actually true as a sole agent will more likely sell your property faster and for a better price.
