Do you need a real estate agent?
Selling your home quickly with a great price may be challenging, especially if you don’t have the support of the right local real estate agent by your side. And that’s why it always pays to speak to real estate experts. This will ensure that you can get the most out of selling your property.
How to find the best agent?
The answer to the question, whether or not you need a real estate agent is obvious. Yes you do. But the bigger question is, how do you find a good agent? Here is a process that you can follow:
Get three (3) agents in for a meeting
No more than three are needed.
And get different types of agents like a small agency, large agency, male and female.
Understand how each plans to value your property and market it.
Take the average of the 3 opinions for valuation
Don’t choose the highest valuation especially if it is way above the other two.
Ask the right questions
Go with the agent you feel the most comfortable with and feel will do the best for you. This means knowing exactly the right questions to ask.
Specifically the following questions:
- How long have you been selling real estate in this area?
- Are you the agent who is actually going to be working on my property or do you have an assistant?
- What is your list to sell ratio? How many properties do you put on the market & how many of them actually sell for the price you quoted the owner?
So what makes a good real estate agent?
- Experience
- Reliability
- Someone who answers the phone, emails, and all buyer enquiry themselves without palming it off to a young, inexperienced assistant
- An agent that embraces the latest in technology and marketing to ensure their client’s properties gain maximum exposure.
