1. Your bridge to information asymmetry: Information asymmetry refers to one party in the transaction with access to more information that the other. The one with more information or knowledge about the given product or service can take advantage of the other party. One can avoid being at the losing side by being well informed.

2. Lower your cost of ownership of property: There are many costs to ownership of the property. The highest is purchase cost of the property itself. This is followed by property ownership transfer tax levied for sales transaction i.e. 3% on the final sales value or PAVA rate whichever is higher as per the Property Transfer Ownership Act of Kingdom of Bhutan, 2019. Other costs of ownership are annual land tax, marketing and brokerage fees, expenses for provision of amenities supply by the municipality and most importantly recurring maintenance cost and running cost of the property.

Since, property purchase cost makes up the bulk of ownership cost, buyer must carefully look into current property valuation, future appreciation and rentals it could generate in addition to choosing the most effective and economical way to market and sell the property as marketing and brokerage fee adds to the purchase cost. On the other hand, regular preventive maintenance of the property can help you avoid expensive major maintenance. A well maintained and facilitated property helps encourage higher tenant lock in periods or retention and avoid frequent moving which damage the property. Furthermore, right tenant selection helps lower cost of maintenance. So, you see it’s all connected. If you as a property owner handle this with multiple vendors, it’s hard to see the bigger picture and to connect the jig saw puzzle. Hence, availing the service from a one stop real estate service center can help keep track of all these and eventually reduce your cost of ownership of property.

3. Maintain property value for resale: Once you have purchased a property from one stop real estate service center, you can also count on them to sell it later and buy yet another one. The one stop shop not only helps you in buying at a good deal but also help you to sell it at a good deal. However, to sell it at a good deal the property must also be well maintained with zero or minimal upfront cost of maintenance. Hence, when all real estate services is offered under one roof, the life time value of the property increases and its ownership is far more resalable at a better price than otherwise just like a well maintained car that’s considered a cream fetching better prices than the lemons.
