Selecting the Right Agent
Who to List With?
There’s no doubt about it. Your realtor has a huge impact on whether or not your home sells quickly, how much you get for your property. Selecting your realtor is the most important step when selling your home. When you hire a real estate agent they provide you services that need to lead to results.
So, you’d be smart to ask, "How do I select the right Realtor”
The best way for me to answer that is in a Personal Consultation meeting. A realtor will meet you at your home, explain how they work with clients, and give you an initial idea of what to expect in terms of selling price and timing. This meeting will give you an opportunity to get to know each other; for the Realtor to explain what they will do to market your home my and for you to ask questions and see if there is a good fit. There is absolutely no obligation to proceed.
They must also be available and keep in communication concerning the marketing efforts and the condition of the market overall. Finally, you want an agent who has access to buyers. A well known agent or team with lots of buyer leads will most likely have a buyer for your home. The agent should be able to handle the following task for you
-
Manage the Marketing of Your Home
-
Expose Your Home to Other Agents
-
Expose Your Home to the Public
-
Secure Potential Buyers
-
Show Your Home
-
Negotiate an Agreement to Buy Your Home
-
Close the Transaction
