Who's Right to Help Sell Your Home?

Watch on your mobile device >>

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.
