real-estate-agent-selling-a-homeSelling your home is a complicated process, therefore it is important to find a real estate agent who will help you work through the process. It pays to put effort into finding the right real estate agent for you. Before you start looking for the perfect real estate agent, bear in mind these important qualities your agent should have.

Having many years in the industry. This is nothing against newbies, but the longer an agent has experience in the real estate business, the higher the possibilities of closing more sales. An experienced agent has learned and mastered the art of qualifying the buyers, negotiating and finalizing the transaction - same things you'll need in selling your home. 

Belonging to a team where another Realtor can do backup especially during cases of unavailability. With the onset of online advertising, it is essential for a real estate team to nurture leads and prospective buyers which requires hard work. It is also important for real estate teams to collect analytics and forward such information to sellers. Any seller would also prefer to talk to a real estate agent directly instead of dealing with the agent's assistants most of the time. All of these preferences will be met if the agent has a reliable team for backup.

Sells a home at the least possible number of days. Although selling a home is a tricky business, a good real estate agent should be able to show what is expected from the market and how their real estate team performed based on the present market conditions as well as the surrounding competition. They should know how to find the right buyer in the least amount of time.

Looks for ways on how you can make the most amount of money when selling your home. Top performing agents usually have a high sales price versus listing price ratio, which means that the agent has been looking for ways in selling a home at a price that is closer to the listing price. This is where the seller can get more out of the sale. This can be seen with the agent's previous transactions that are reflected on the MLS.

Utilizes technology and fast paced marketing. Although some effective real estate agents may still opt to do things in an old fashioned way, the future of real estate depends on real estate agents who figure out the technology needed for success. This holds true when selling a home, especially when most of the home buyers utilize the internet to search for homes for sale. The more the internet is utilized, the more leads will be gathered and transaction will be closed.

These are some of the key components you should look out for while selecting a real estate agent team who can help you in selling a home. All of these qualities hold true for our team, The Exceptional Home Team, so feel free to contact us so we can help you by offering expert advice and market information on listing and selling your home.
