~Breaking up is hard to do~ 5 questions to ask your REALTOR®
Sometimes we make mistakes in committing to relationships because we are not fully informed about the person we are getting involved with. I try to make good decsions up front, but in order to do that, I need to know what to ask.
~Breaking up is hard to do~ 5 questions to ask your REALTOR®
Sometimes in a realtionship there is one party that wants out.
Real Estate is no exception.
I recently received a call from a distraught couple who had just terminated their Buyer's Representation Agreement with a REALTOR® (herein called Agent). They felt that they didn't ask enough questions of the Agent prior to signing the agreement. Hence, they felt that a lot of time was wasted on their part.
Here are 5 questions to ask your REALTOR®:
1. How does this Agent work? Certain hours a day? Certain days of the week? Will you be able to find a mutually agreeable time frame?
2. What experience does this Agent have? Do they have a specialty? It's difficult for a commercial Agent to sell a residential home. The forms are different, terms, negotiations, etc. Make sure they are capable of helping you in the type of real estate you are looking to purchase.
3. How many successful transactions has this Agent had under their belt? It's not necessary for an Agent to be the highest top producer, but you need to know how versed they are in the entire process. Asking a trusted friend for a referral might help you in this area.
4. What happens if the Agent is out of town, calls in sick or just can't make your scheduled times? Does this Agent work with a Team that can fill in or will you have to wait for the Agent to return back to work to help you?
5. And lastly an understanding of the expectations of all parties involved. This will help eliminate the need to break up!
