On what basis can a broker advise a seller about the sale of their home?

  1. Experience and knowledge of the local market

  2. Personal opinions about the property

  3. Advice from other sellers

  4. Guesswork based on trends

The correct answer is: Experience and knowledge of the local market

A broker can advise a seller about the sale of their home primarily based on their experience and knowledge of the local market. This expertise encompasses an understanding of property values, market trends, and buyer preferences in the specific area where the home is located. By leveraging this knowledge, a broker can provide sound advice on pricing strategies, marketing techniques, and how to position the property to attract potential buyers effectively. Basing advice on personal opinions about the property lacks the objectivity needed in real estate transactions, as it may not reflect actual market conditions or values. Similarly, relying on advice from other sellers can be misleading, as their experiences may not be applicable to a different property or market context. Guesswork based on trends, while it may provide some insights, does not substitute for the informed analysis that a broker’s professional training and experience offer.
