Pitfalls of Multi-Agency Agreements

The Negatives Outweigh Very Little Benefits

Multi-agency agreements in real estate, while seemingly advantageous, carry several drawbacks worth considering.

Firstly, listing with multiple agents may convey desperation to buyers, potentially diminishing the property's perceived value. Moreover, the risk of undervaluation looms large, as agents may be inclined to underprice to secure a quick sale. Additionally, the cumulative cost of commissions from multiple agencies eats into profits. Coordinating viewings becomes chaotic, leading to a disjointed experience for potential buyers. Lastly, the heightened risk of gazumping further complicates matters, eroding trust among parties involved.

In summary, sellers should carefully weigh the drawbacks before committing to a multi-agency approach, ensuring it aligns with their objectives while maximizing the property's value.
