The Real Estate Agent Selection Process:
So, you reached a decision that it's time to sell your home.
- Great! Now what?
- How do you select a real estate agent?
- Who do you know that has worked with a real estate agent in the area?
- What happens if you choose to list your home and then change your mind?
These are all excellent questions. Selling and moving can be one of the most stressful things a person can do in their lifetime. It's a major decision. Hiring the right real estate professional can make this process smooth transition.
Tips for finding and hiring the right Realtor:
- Ask friends and co-workers if they recommend any Realtors. A client who was happy with their Realtor will be thrilled to refer them to another client.
- Meet with multiple agents individually to get a feel for their personalities. Do you “click” with one person in particular?
- Explain your goals, needs and expectations during this meeting. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
- Listen to the agents you have selected and how they work. What is their experience? Are they a good match for you? What should you expect from them?
- Know how many properties the Realtor has sold and if they have an in-house team to support them.
- Read reviews written by past clients who have gone through the selling process with the Realtor you are considering.
- Request a list of referrals you can call allowing you to explore an Agent's work ethic and community involvement.
- Consider any suggestions the Realtor gives you to improve the sales process. Remember, this is their line of expertise and their suggestions are based in experience and can help you reach your goal.
- Set High Expectations for the Realtor you hire. Finding and hiring the right agent is a key element to creating a smooth transaction before during and especially after an offer has been accepted.
