Choosing a Realtor is one of the most important decisions you can make when buying or selling your home. Here are six questions you should ask when interviewing agents to sell your home: 1. How long have you been in the business? Experience definitely pays off when it comes to the world of real estate. An agent that has been in the business for several years has probably run into many different situations and will be able to handle anything that comes up during your sale. 2. How many homes have you sold? How active is this real estate agent? Some agents may have been in the business for many years without selling many homes. You’re looking for someone that has been in the business for many years and sold as many homes as possible.



Experience always pays off in the world of real estate.


3. What are your average days on market? It’s one thing to list a home, but it’s another to sell the home. You want to find someone who can sell your home as quickly as possible for top dollar. You don’t want to hire an agent that starts with a list price of $500,000 but sells for $425,000. Look for an agent with a very close list-to-sales price ratio.
4. What is your marketing budget? These days, real estate is all about marketing, so ask your agent how many dollars per month they will allocate towards marketing your home to the world. 5. How are you going to market my home? Again, in this new world of real estate, you need an agent who has a marketing strategy that will benefit you. 6. Do you have any references? Talking to someone else who has already worked with the agent is a good way to figure out what it will be like for you to work with them. By working with an agent, you will position yourself to get the highest market value for your home. If you have any other questions about hiring a Realtor, give us a call or send us an email.
