So now the information is in hand. You have been given a CMA, which gives you an opinion of the fair market value of your property. Many homeowners like to have two or three opinions, thus interviewing more than one agent. However, be cautious for the one(s) who tells you want you want to hear. It is not fair to anyone involved to tell you that your home is worth more than it really is just so that Realtor can get your business. This will turn out to be a lose, lose situation for you. Instead, be objective and honest with yourself through this process.
By now, you will be able to determine if now is the right time for you to make a move or not. If it is the right time, then here are some questions that every homeowner should ask their potential real estate agent prior to listing.
- May I see your past clients testimonials?
- May I see your resume?
- What areas do you specialize in selling real estate?
- Where do today's buyer's originate from and how will you reach them?
- Show me your personal marketing plan for my home.
- How many web-sites do you market my home on & what are they?
- How many viewers search these sites monthly?
- What percentage of your companies listings sell rather than expire?
- What is the current absorption rate in my area?
- What is the average days on the market for our area?
