How To Choose A Real Estate Agent To Sell Your Home
When you want to put your house for sale on the real estate market, you’ll want to locate potential agents who are familiar with the area where you live. Real estate professionals must be familiar with the neighbourhood in order to make a quick sale at the best selling price possible. However, if you can find a realtor who lives in your neighbourhood, you’re in luck! Take as much time as you need to interview as many real estate agents as you want before making a selection.
Before paying for a professional home selling service, here’s an agent selection checklist to consider.
Verify their qualifications.
Whether you’re dealing with a real estate agency or an independent broker, they must be able to provide proof of qualifications. Just because someone lives in your neighbourhood and claims to have knowledge of the real estate industry in Noosa doesn’t automatically make them a competent agent. Always ask for their credentials and confirm their previous sales experience.
Verify seller agents’ licenses.
The biggest home seller mistake you could make is to neglect to check agents’ licenses. You wouldn’t want to deal with the wrong listing agent early on – or worse, a non-licensed real estate agent. Your agent must be fully licensed in order to legally process the purchase or sale of a home.
Ask friends and family for referrals.
Get a competent agent through referrals from someone in your circle of friends or family as they must have just sold a home recently or at some point in the past. They will always give you fair and honest feedback about their personal experiences during their property selling process.
Inquire about the agent’s selling technique.
Are you and the agent on the same page when it comes to the selling strategy? Ask the agent about their sales process, their expected timeline and listing price, or their plans for open houses. You might also want to inquire about showing times and how to establish the optimal sales price for your home.
Know your priorities and expectations.
What exactly do you expect from a real estate agent? Consider what’s most important to you before scheduling interviews.
Is it possible that communication is a major factor? Do you prefer to talk on the phone or communicate via text/email? Do you want to sell your house as soon as possible? Do you want to be more hands-on or do you want an agent who will take the reins throughout the property selling process?
