For most people, their home is their most valuable
asset. When buying or selling real estate, it makes sense to find the right
real estate agent for your particular situation and needs. The real estate
broker will be working for you,
therefore adopting an employer mind set during the searching process,
will make the task of finding the right agent much easier. Too often, a realtor is chosen because s/he
is a “friend” or a neighbor and may not necessarily be the right person for the
task at hand. Don’t cheat yourself out of an optimal real estate transaction;
your biggest asset deserves a real estate professional with a successful track
record and reputation.
As the employer, you should conduct formal
interviews to determine which potential agent is the right one. The following questions will go a long way in
helping you find the right agent for your real estate:
1) How long have
you been in the business?
2) What is your
average list-price-to-sales-price ratio?
3) What is your
best marketing plan or strategy for my needs?
As a buyer, you will need to know:
• How will you search for my
new home?
• How many homes will I
likely see, before I find a home I want to buy?
• Will I be competing
against other buyers?
• How do you handle multiple
offers?
• Do you present offers
yourself?
As a seller, you will need to know:
• Specifically, how will you
sell my home?
• What is your direct mail
campaign?
• Where and how often do you
advertise?
• Will you show me a sample
flyer?
• How do you market online?
4) Will you
please provide references?
5) What are the
top three things that separate you from your competition?
6) May I review
documents beforehand, that I will be asked to sign?
7) How will you
help me find other professionals?
8) How much do
you charge?
9) What kind of
guarantee do you offer?
10) What haven't
I asked you that I need to know?
