Colorado Real Estate Sellers - In this market, you need every advantage. You still need proper staging, signage, brochures, curb appeal and pricing, but to neglect the largest source of buyers (online) by not hiring a broker who is familiar with online marketing (and can demonstrate it) to represent you is starting your real estate selling experience with a handicap.

Some questions to ask:

  1. Do you blog?  where?  This may demonstrate committment and understanding of the web as well as keeping up with the latest in buyer and seller demands
  2. What's your web site address?  Take a look at their site, what is on it?  do they even have a site?  Amazingly there are some agents out there that still don't have their own website.
  3. Do they have their own site, or are they just a tagline at the end of a larger companies site?  They may point to rankings, brag about 'their' site, and then you find out that it is a company site...
  4. Where does your MLS propagate my listing to?  Realtor.com is the most viewed site for listings, but even they only have a small share.  There are many sources online for listings these days.  It takes a lot of work and upkeep to maintain them all, but isn't that what your agent is paid to do?

This is not a comprehensive list of all the things you could or should ask a prespective listing agent, but it may give you some questions to ask that you haven't thought of before.
