What To Look For In An Agent?
The following are a couple of factors to keep in mind when looking for a listing agent:
Experience and Expertise
You want a full-time experienced agent who knows the market well, is familiar with your area and who you feel confident will sell your home for the most money within the timeframe that meets your needs. Does he or she employ a diverse range of homes sold over the past six months? How many homes have they sold within the past year? With rapidly changing markets, it is incredibly important to hire an agent who sells homes everyday.
- Staging
Getting your home ready for the market and marketing your home are the two most important things when it comes to selling. It is incredibly important that your agent gives you a detailed list of recommendations room by room so that your home shows in it’s best light to appeal to all buyers resulting in the most money in your pocket. - Strategic Pricing
Once your home is ready for the market, your agent should review recent comparable sales and determine a strategic list price based on the current market in order to capture the largest audience of agents and potential buyers. - Professional Photography
Now that you have spent time, energy, (and potentially some money) on getting your home ready for the market, you will want to be sure that your agent hires a professional photographer who specializes in real estate, uses proper lighting, and captures the best angles and features of your home. Professional photography is different than professional real estate photography! - Marketing
It is important that your agent markets in a way that shows your home in its’ best light and on multiple platforms in order to get as many potential buyers through your door as possible. Does he or she employ a diverse range of marketing and advertising strategies? Are they actively marketing on social media? - Availability and Commitment
Your agent should be capable of prompt and decisive action during the course of selling your property. Does your agent make it a point to keep in touch with you constantly? Can your agent easily be contacted in case of emergencies or even for the simplest questions? Is your agent available on the weekends or in the evenings when most buyers are out looking? - Rapport
Does your agent take the time to listen to your goals and clarify your needs? Can your agent understand your unique situation and be genuinely invested in helping you meet your goals? Your listing agent will be your guide and partner in this crucial decision, so it is important to find one with whom you fully trust is looking out for YOUR best interest.
