-
Does the agent have a personal web site? If so, is it advertised on his or her business card?
-
Visit the agent’s web site. Do you like how the listings are presented?
-
How long has the agent been a Realtor? How many homes does he or she sell per year? (TIP:
If the number is lower than 50, they may not have the experience or the resources you require
to get your home sold quickly).
-
What kind of Internet marketing do you do? Do you take multiple photos? Do you do virtual
tours?
-
How will you keep me updated on the process of selling my home?
-
If I have questions on the sale of my home, will someone be available to answer my questions?
-
If someone calls with questions on my home, will they be able to reach you immediately?
(TIP: Call in the evening and on the weekend to see how quickly the response time is.)
-
Do you have any references? (TIP: Go to their current active listings for references from sellers
to get an honest opinion of the agents’ service).
-
Do you advertise in the newspaper or real estate magazines? (TIP: Ask the agent to supply
copies of their current ads).
-
How long is your listing agreement? Can I get out of it if I am not happy? Will you put that
in writing?
-
Do you have a support staff? (TIP: It is always beneficial to hire an agent that has at least
one assistant. You will see your needs are met much faster and there will always be someone
to help you with questions).
