There are hundreds of real estate licensees in our area. Choosing the right agent for your home can be confusing. It is especially difficult when you speak with several different agents, and they all seem so convincing.
There is a way to determine who is most likely to succeed in getting your price and terms. The key is knowing the right questions to ask.
The following list provides you with questions to ask your prospective Realtor®. The list will not only help you select the right Realtor®, but also get you the very best from the one you choose…
- Do you work as a full time Realtor®?
- Do you have references that I may check?
- How many listings does your company have at this time? (More is always better- it means many more buyer calls coming in.)
- In what ways will you encourage other Realtors® to sell my home?
- Do you have a system to follow up on other agent's showings so that we get valuable feedback after every showing?
- Are you associated with a national referral network that refers their buyers to you and so that you can refer me to the top agent in the town or state I may be moving to?
- What is my property worth? What listing price do you recommend? How did you arrive at that price?
- Are you on the Internet exposing my property to millions of buyers instantly?
- How will you assist in my relocation plans?
- Do you have a written Specific Marketing Plan designed to sell my property quickly and for top dollar?
- Do you have the construction knowledge necessary to interpret structural pest reports and home inspection reports?
- Do you offer an easy exit listing agreement?
