When getting ready to sell your home, one of the first things you want to do is find yourself a strong listing agent. Here are eight questions you can ask any real estate agent to get insight into who they are, what their track record is, and how hard they work for their clients:
1. Is this your full-time job and how long have you been in the business?
2. How many homes did you sell last year?
3. Do you work mostly with buyers or sellers?
4. What’s your average days on market? How long does it take you to sell a home?
5. What’s your list-to-sale price ratio?
6. How will you market my home? Avoid agents who only use the three Ps. They put a home on the MLS, place a sign in the yard, and pray someone buys it. That’s not a good strategy in today’s market.
7. Do you handle the closing yourself or do you have an assistant? An agent with an assistant will always give a higher level of service than someone doing it on their own.
8. Can you give me a list of recent clients you sold homes for?
A strong listing agent is essential.
I guarantee that if you ask an agent these eight questions, you will be able to find out who is going to work for you and who won’t. I hope this helps you out and if it can help out anyone you know, feel free to pass it along.
