FINDING THE RIGHT AGENT TO SELL YOUR HOME.

Good Agents know how to market your home and will do so out of their own pocket for you. Aggressive marketing usually means they will recommend how to stage your home to make it present well, write the property description correctly, have professional-quality photographs taken, and show the house to qualified buyers.

the interview

As a consumer, you need to interview potential real estate agents before you make a decision on who you are going to hire to sell your home. Recommendations from family, friends, neighbors or coworkers are great referrals to have.

1. What agency do you work for, and what advantage does your agency provide you that will help sell my home?

2. What is your best marketing plan to sell my home?

3. Where do you advertise?

4. What kind of photography do you use?

5. Do you market online?

6. What is the term of the Listing Agreement and what happens if I want to get out of it?

7. How much do you charge to sell my home?

8. Why are you the right Agent to sell my home?

what else should I ask you that I need to know?

This is the most important question to ask. How the agent answers this question can help you get a sense of whether or not you can build a trusting relationship with this person. Do they take their time and make sure you understand everything or are they annoyed and anxious. It’s important to feel comfortable and secure with their knowledge and skills. A good agent knows how to listen. how to advise you, and how to ask the right questions to find out what they need to know to better serve you.
