Buying or selling a home for most people is probably the single largest financial transaction in their lifetime. So you would think that with that transaction they would want only the best person representing them. The thing is, many homeowners do not realize the importance of choosing a qualified REALTOR® and in fact some have no idea what attributes they should be looking for much less inquiring about as they decide who to work with.
Today,
I wanted to cover this very important topic on our blog because as a team we
feel it is critical that you, the client, are able to make the best decision
for you – one that will get you the best price for your home when you sell it.
Most Real Estate
Agents Averaged 4 Homes Sold Last Year
Consider
this: 94% of all agents averaged only
four homes sold in 2012. This statistic further breaks down with 71% of those 94%
having sold less than 4 homes in one
year.
As
you decide to list your home on the market, putting in so much time, effort,
energy and sometimes money into presenting the home well – wouldn’t you want
someone that has done this successfully time and again to handle it for you?
Asking Questions
Beforehand is Key to Finding the Right REALTOR®
So
as you start thinking about putting your home on the market, consider making a
list of the things that matter most to you in dealing with someone closely for
something as large as selling a home. Ask questions like “Are they accessible?”
“How many homes have they sold on average last year?” and “How much time and
effort do they devote to their career?”
With
these and other questions, you will be able to gauge the real estate agent’s
experience level, knowledge base, marketing reach and most importantly – your
connection with them.
