For Sellers
Not all real estate agents are the same. If you decide to seek the help of an agent when selling your home, you need some good information before you make any moves. Picking an agent is one of those critical issues that can cost or save you thousands of dollars.
Hiring a real estate agent is like any other hiring process- with you as the boss. There are specific questions you should be asking to ensure that you get the best representation for your needs. What makes you different? What is your company's track record and reputation in the market place? What are your marketing plans for my home? Does your broker control your advertising or do you? On average, when your listings sell,how close is the selling price to the asking price? On average, how long does it take for your listings to sell? Do you have a reference list of clients I could contact? What happens if I am not happy with the job you are doing to get my home sold?
