Selling a home can be a very stressful venture. A good real estate agent can ease the burden of selling your home. Finding the right real estate agent for you is essential to your peace of mind. Below are some tips and questions for potential real estate agents that will help you to choose the right real estate agent:
- Hire an agent who is familiar with your neighborhood and the sales activity in your area.
- Decide on your priorities. Do you want a quick sale, or as much money as possible for your home? Discuss different selling strategies with your real estate agent.
- Ask the agent for a list of homes he or she has sold in the last year in your area.
- Walk around your house with the agent. Ask the agent for his or her suggestions for improving its chances of selling.
- Ask the agent what his or her fees and commissions are.
- Discuss whether you or the buyer will pay the closing fees (or split the cost).
- How often will the agent show your house?
- Decide if you want prior notice from the agent before he or she shows a client your house. Make sure the agent knows your preference.
- How often will he or she host open houses?
- How will the agent advertise your house: on the internet, in newspapers, or in other ways?
- Does the agent have a website and does he or she participate in the Multiple Listing Service?
- Will he or she provide and stock a brochure box attached to the "For Sale" sign?
- How long will your contract be active, and what are the terms of the contract? Always read the fine print!
- If you are unhappy with the agent, how long after the contract expires can you hire another agent? Can you terminate the contract early?
- Will the agent offer a commission fee reduction if a friend or family member of yours offers to buy your house?
