Real Estate Teams vs. Single Agents

Should you hire a real estate team or an individual agent to help you buy or sell a home?

There are a few reasons why you should hire a real estate team instead of an individual agent.

The main challenge is that single agents work with both buyers and sellers, so they get pulled in two different directions. If you hire a single agent to list your home, they are not 100% dedicated to selling your home. They are driving all over town doing showings for buyers and trying to make a paycheck, which is understandable but not very good for your home sale.

When you hire a real estate team, there will be multiple agents who can show your home so that your property is shown on the prospective buyer’s schedule, which ultimately gets you more showings and better offers.

If you hire an individual agent to help you buy a home, they will also be working with sellers. How can they service the sellers and still take you out to look at homes when you are available? If the home you want hits the market and your agent isn’t available to take you to a showing, then you risk losing that home to another buyer. When you work with a real estate team, it is much easier to look for the homes you want on your schedule.

Finally, single agents have a hard time dealing with escrow. Escrow is when you are under contract on a home. Most individual agents work on their own escrow, which means they spend all day working with buyers and sellers before turning to escrow when they have extra time.

If an agent waits until the end of the day to work on escrow, they might miss timelines, overlook certain details, and create unnecessary drama in the transaction. Our real estate team has a dedicated escrow manager who handles all of the details and helps the other agent to make the entire transaction go smoothly. That’s why our team is able to offer better customer service and less stressful transactions.

Sue - "The Penrose Team did a good job for me. I got a lot of money for the first house they sold for me. It was much more than all the other Realtors had said I could get for it, which we were very happy about. They just advertise better and have a wide advertising area. They are good team and would do a good job for you, hire them!"

Brenda - "The Penrose Team was just always there for us and kept us up to date with the whole process. We weren’t actually the ones that purchased the home, my in-laws did but they included us in everything which was awesome. They were just absolutely wonderful and if we ever needed anything, they were there to answer."

Amanda - "We had very positive results when we worked with the Penrose team especially when it came to the negotiations for the contract. We had some things to go over about the roof and Christin really took that at hand and worked with the sellers to make sure that we were getting the best possible outcome. They really took care of us!"

Bill - "They were able to sell our home in pretty difficult circumstances. We had some terrible construction in front of our house, there were a lot of pigeons and their droppings, and the HOA wasn’t keeping up the property as well as they should have. When people were complaining about the droppings, they dispatched someone out to the house to tidy it up and they just kept going until they found a buyer for us. The whole experience was just great all the way around."

John - "They are absolutely phenomenal. I have nothing but positive things to say about the service I received. Nicole, Christin, and Jason were just really exceptional to work with and they all went above and beyond to help us."

Keith - "They always kept me abreast of everything that was transpiring with the transaction, especially once the contract came about. They did a very nice job of representing my position to the seller’s agent."

Brittany - "I was not kept in the loop with my previous real estate transaction so I really appreciated Jason touching base with me when anything changed and making weekly calls to ensure I was kept up to date. My house sold quickly and it was just a really good experience."

Linda -"We had a previous real estate person who had the house for five months. There were no offers or anything. Jason and his team came in, took pictures, put it up on the MLS, and sold the house within a week for the full asking price. The girls in the office were very helpful. The buyer had neglected to mention that he was married, so they had to overnight a form for his wife to sign. They kept me updated throughout, and they were right on top of it the whole time!"

Cathi -"I want to thank Jason and his team for getting us through this transaction and selling our house! The last several months have been crazy, and we finally got the deal done. It would not have happened without Jason and his entire team, particularly Nicole. She has been my partner every step of the way. She's awesome. She was right on top of things and put up with my constant questions, which we really appreciated. At times it didn't feel like this transaction would be successful, and thanks to them it was!"
