Is there anything that angers you so much you HATE it? After spending 33 hours flying through 5 airports and being on 6 planes i can sure say i am close to hating flying. I did however get to meet lots of people and have lots of conversations about Home buying and Selling from people across the country. One Couple was talking about how much they HATED the process of Selling Their home. I popped right up because this is my specialty. I am one of the leading listing agents in the MANCHESTER NH. area, and I LOVE to list and Sell homes.
Pretty soon I had a round table of people around me in an airport table discussing Real Estate and sharing stories. I would like to share those with you this week.
The one that stood out was the lady who kept saying she HATED the process of Selling her home. She said she checked the paper and chose the name she saw the most in the paper. She Listed her home at the price they gave her. She said buyers show up without notice to see the home. That she can not get her questions answered. That when someone showed her a MLS sheet of her home it was filled with mistakes and she just can not take it anymore.
I told her she did not have to "take it" That all agents are not the same and she simply needs to find a better agent. Her mistake may have been to not interview other agents. She admitted not even interviewing the agent she hired. All agents are not created equal but is starts with the seller hiring a "GOOD" :Listing Agent, one who is WELL experienced in your area and type of Home. One that will guide you through each step of the Buying or Selling process. To the consumers who were successful, they found the secret which I would like to share with you. To those who learned the hard way, they did not have to....
THE TOP TIPS TO FIND A "GREAT" REAL ESTATE AGENT
1. LEARN THIS ONE FACT: One should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. It is important to Hire the BEST Agent. In NH that could be me.
2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AGENT: As a Buyer OR Seller in this market you need every advantage you can to get your home sold. It starts with choosing the right agent. a. Ask for a Full time agent whose sole job is to sell homes. b. Ask for a Full service agent who will guide you through each step of the selling process. Discount brokers often equal discount services. c. Ask for a Local agent who knows your neighborhood and is readily available when you need them is a must. Out of town agents can leave you high and dry in your time of need. d. Ask for a well experienced Listing Agent can give you the advantages you need when selling your home. Not all agents are created equal. Choose only the best.
3. HOME BUYERS SHOULD START BY: Getting a FREE PRE-QUALIFICATION with a local and trusted lender. They will look at your credit and financial picture and let you know what type of mortgage you may qualify for and what your interest rate and monthly payment may be.
4. HOME SELLERS SHOULD START BY: Getting a FREE MARKET ANALYSIS. Learn what your property is worth in today's market along with how ling it may take to sell. If you are ready to sell now, learn what you should ask for it. How much offers may come in at and what the approximate selling price should be. NH Home owners should contact me now.
IN SUMMARY the key to having a successful purchase or sale can increase simply choosing a better agent. The secret is that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. I leave you with now infamous philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process.
