The Importance of acquiring the services of a Real Estate consultant by StellaAyomide(f): 7:24am On May 24, 2022
“Don’t work for money; make it work for you.” Robert Kiyosaki.

Who is a Real Estate consultant

A real estate consultant is someone who gives specialized investment and financial advice to clients looking to buy, sell or invest in property. They work closely with people throughout the process of buying and selling properties.

Unlike a traditional real estate agent, a real estate consultant is entirely optional. Though both roles usually require a real estate or broker’s license, a real estate consultant is there to advise clients and provide research and analysis exploring the viability or various properties or sites. Since they aren’t involved in the sale of a property, a consultant cannot replace an agent or broker during an actual transaction.

The benefits of using a consultant are in their additional services they might offer, including market analysis/modeling, lease management, and asset management. Therefore, real estate consultants work with a variety of clients, including construction companies, business owners or third-party investors like banks or credit unions, and even financial lenders.



The Role of a Real Estate Consultant

The primary responsibilities of a real estate consultant are to help their clients through the buying or selling process in order to help them meet their individual goals. During the first meeting with a client, the real estate consultant will likely speak with them about what their objectives are. Once the goals are established, the consultant can begin to conduct the proper research to help the client achieve those goals in a timely and cost-effective way. Ultimately, their job is to be an unbiased expert opinion on whether a real estate investment or transaction is a solid financial decision.

For example, if a property owner wanted to put in a 30-unit apartment building on a lot they own, then the real estate development consultant would conduct some research and compile any relevant reports on their findings along with their professional insights. This research might include site-based visits, meetings with local real estate professionals, city planners, or meetings with community leaders or officials.

Or, say there is a prospective home-buyer.. A real estate agent would simply help the client buy a home because they want it. A real estate consultant would ask the buyer about their specific goals and motivations in order to help them choose a property that fits their needs. Once a specific property is chosen, the consultant would help the client analyze whether it is a strong financial decision to buy the house with heavy consideration towards financial stability and risk aversion.

A real estate consultant can often disclose information to the buyer that the agent won’t. For example, they can discuss with their clients the owner’s motivations for selling or leasing, poor transaction data, or anything else that the agent might not want to disclose. The consultant’s role is to provide as many details as possible that the client needs to make their decision, so that fewer problems occur later down the road

Having a real estate consultant can be a useful addition to the services of a real estate agent. They can give their clients invaluable insight into the true value of a property, as well as the stability of the local real estate market. When a client uses just a real estate agent, they might be missing out on the complete picture of the development that a real estate consultant could provide.

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison

The famous story about Edison and the incandescent lightbulb, which took thousands of tries to find a filament that would burn but not extinguish, is proof to the pudding of his statement. You just never know what’s around the corner until you get there.

“The first one gets the oyster, the second gets the shell.” – Andrew Carnegie

It sounds brutal, and one doesn’t become a steel baron without nerves of steel, but there is a harsh truth in this statement. Resources are exploited by businesses to achieve their goals. They’re not a collective, sharing the wealth, so like the early bird, if you want the worm, then get up early.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” – Anaïs Nin

Nin was no stranger to the creative act. As a writer, she had to take pen to paper or her stories would remain phantoms in her mind. It is safer to keep these ideas to oneself. There’s no rejection or criticism that way, but there’s also no way to hone one’s skills and produce something of value.

“Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you’re going to do now and do it.” – William Durant

There is only the present, so the enlightened ones tell us, and we cannot allow ourselves to become tied to the past or enchanted by the future. There is only the here and now. We must concentrate on that and act. This quote doesn’t reject the lessons of the past or the plans for the future, but we only have this moment, so do your best in it.

“Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.” – Henry David Thoreau

Philosopher, naturalist, essayist, etc.—Thoreau knew a thing or two about productivity. He wisely saw that those who are seeking success are more likely romanticizing the idea and not doing the hard, practical work necessary to achieve it.
