Well, actually, the answer is both yes and no. Yes, it is good if you have a Gonubie estate agent helping you in the search for a Gonubie house for sale. But no, it is possible to find a Gonubie house for sale that would be perfect for your needs even without a Gonubie estate agent helping you out.

The pros of having a Gonubie estate agent assisting you is that he/she may have a Gonubie house for sale in mind that may meet your needs. This will save you time, energy and money that would usually go towards hunting down a good Gonubie house for sale on your own, without the help of the Gonubie estate agent.

The disadvantage of using the services of a Gonubie estate agent is that you may find yourself feeling pressured to purchase the first Gonubie house for sale he/she presents to you due to his/her aggressive sales pitch. Face it, many real estate agents are really quite pushy when they see that you seem to be attracted or partial to one of the houses on their list. Part of it comes from their training and part of it may come from their own drive to be at the top of their field.

This is why some people really prefer to look for a property for themselves on their own. They may later recruit the estate agent to help them with the finer points of buying a property like compliance with any laws, computation of costs, among others, because there are certain aspects involved in buying a property that you really need an expert for.

What should you look for in an ideal Gonubie house for sale then? First, you should try to figure out what kind of home you want. This means knowing how much space you need, including how many rooms, the size of each ideal room, and the potential size of the entire property you want. If you only need a small amount of space, then you may want to take a look at a host of townhouses on the market. Townhouses are a good option for people who want enough space for an individual or a small family, with perhaps a garage on the first floor for the first family car they buy. But if your family is growing and needs more space, you may want to examine options like a bungalow or two-story house instead.

That is another advantage that comes with consulting an estate agent - the agent may know what is the suitable housing for someone with your needs and how to find that type of lodging place for you in the easiest and most convenient way possible.

To find a good estate agent, you may want to ask around your social circles first. Then look in industry newsletters and other publications where agents with good performance in the industry are recognized by their peers. It may also be possible to go online to look at blog posts and forums where real estate is discussed as well.
