Well the time has come for you to sell your home, it could be for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you need more space for an expanding family maybe your current home just doesn't fit your needs anymore. Maybe the reason is much more stressful such as a divorce or any unexpected job relocation. The last thing you need during this time is someone helping you sell your home that is unprofessional or doesn't understand the current real estate market.
When you are selecting a Realtor, make sure you find someone whose personality is not in line with yours. Even if the agent has terrific credentials and has sold a lot of homes over the years, they may not make you feel comfortable. You will be dealing very closely with your Realtor everyday, so choose wisely.
Most important, you want a Realtor who will tell you the truth about your home. Many agents want the listing so bad that they will just go along with whatever price you select, with no regard for the market. What they are thinking is, "I will just take the listing then work on getting it reduced later. This is a huge mistake, since you will lose out on the initial buyers who would have seen your home but the price was too high. Pricing your home initially is crucial to sell as quickly as possible and at the maximum market price.
It is also very important to select a Realtor who is capable of helping you stage the home to sell quickly.
