Questions To Ask Before You List With A Realtor Over 85% of people looking for a home today start their search using the internet. Ask the Realtor you plan to use to explain in detail how he or she plans to market your home on the internet. When a key word search is done by some one looking for homes for sale in our area will your home come up on the major search engines or will it be buried among millions of other listings on a web site that is trying to be everything to everyone. Does he or she have a follow up plan in place to respond quickly with good information to visitors who view their web site? It doesn't do any good to get noticed if your agent has no follow up plan to keep in touch with potentially serious buyers. Will your agent have control over his or her advertising campaigns which allows a faster response to the advertising needs of your individual home? Will your agent do a Realtor open house luncheon as well as hold public open houses? Pictures are very important. Ask the agent, you are considering to list your home, for examples of pictures he or she has produced for other listings, that are for sale now. You should be able to get this information e-mailed to you or displayed to you at the time you meet together. Will the agent you are considering do a virtual tour? Will it be a real virtual tour or just more still pictures that move around on the computer screen? How many scenes will the agent do? Some homes require more than other homes. Does the agent you are considering seem to agree with everything you say? That's okay to some extent. However, you need some one who is secure enough to give you their honest opinions but flexible enough to let you make your own decisions. Will the agent you hire help you objectively evaluate every buyer's proposal without compromising your marketing position? How long has the agent you are considering been in the business and how many transactions does he or she complete per year? The average agent does around 15 transactions per year. You may not get the best service from the agent that does the most business. It just doesn't work that way. However, you do want to may sure that your agent is doing enough volume to have acquired the skills it takes to do a good job for you. Between the initial sales agreement and closing, unexpected situations may arise. During the interview ask for several examples of how this agent handled several unexpected situations in the sale of a home in the past. Ask the agent for references. These are just a few tips for interviewing an agent to help you sell your home. For more information concerning this important decision give Carla a call at 281-685-5385 or call Wayne at 713-446-8328.
