Choosing the right Real Estate Professional is one of the most important decisions you'll make in selling your home. When you interview a real estate professional for the job of selling your house, here are some things you should ask and watch for:
- How long have they been in the real estate business?
- How long have they worked in your area?
- How many homes have they sold in the past year?
- What is their commission?
- How will they market your house?
- Will you be working directly with them or an assistant?
- Can they give you references?
- Can they get you a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis)? This will tell you what comparable homes in your area are selling for.
- Watch out for a too optimistic selling price for your home. It's not common but some agents will tell you what you want to hear just to get you to hire them. Over-pricing your home will seriously hurt its marketability, it'll take longer to sell and after wasting time waiting for it to sell you'll probably end up dropping the price to the level (if not lower) of the other estimates.
- You will be signing a listing contract with the real estate professional you choose, find out what the length of the contract is and the terms before you sign.
