REAL ESTATE AGENT And Love Have 4 Things In Common

If you don’t read this report you’ll almost certainly lose thousands of dollars when you sell your home…

Home sellers don’t know how exactly to spot a good real estate agent

This is understandable considering that you will only trade a couple of properties in your lifetime. Your property is probably your biggest asset. So, be careful whom you choose to sell it; one slip-up from a realtor will wipe thousands off your selling price.

Ask the right questions

Many home sellers ask the incorrect questions when they interview an agent. They ask questions such as for example “How much can you charge?” or “What’s the house worth?”. While these questions are essential, they ought to only be asked after the agent has told you what they’ll do for you personally and how they’ll allow you to get the best price.

This report can be your guide to hiring a real estate agent. I’m going to demonstrate how to spot and select the best agent to sell your home. After all, I believe there’s no one easier to sell your home when compared to a highly skilled agent. The problem is that highly skilled agents are difficult to find.

WARNING! Don’t accept second best. Too many sellers make the error of picking the ‘best of a negative bunch’. You will be better off without an agent

Check out your agent

It is a sad fact, but lots of people don’t check-out their agent until once they have signed with them – at that time it’s too late. After you sign you’re stuck; you could be locked right into a ‘minimum 90 day’ contract.

The questions and information in this report offers you the knowledge you should keep the power if you are selling a house. After you sign you lose your power.

Agents love to say all of them are different but basic research will prove most are the same. It’s the ‘cookie cutter’ approach with regards to selling your house – every property is sold the same way.

What to look for when choosing an agent

In 2006 Neil Jenman (my Dad) was asked to supply a summary of questions, comments, and hints to help home sellers choose an agent for a Television show he was hosting. He called his list of questions and comments, GUIDE TO GRILLING AGENTS. During the last few years I have given the guide to many home sellers. This report contains many of the questions and comments in his original guide.

What does a good agent look like?

Most agents will undoubtedly be well dressed, promptly, and prepared. However the best real estate agents could be the ones who put your interests first. They will offer solutions that suit you first, not them.

Agents who ask for money to advertise your house should rarely be hired. After all, if advertising was the only reason your house sold why do you want a real estate agent?

Questions are the answer

Sometimes the answer to one good question gives you the confidence you must hire the best agent to sell your home. Good questions do the effort for you personally. Before you jump in and begin grilling real estate agents, have a step back.

Put your house buyer shoes on. And begin with a mystery shop…

MYSTERY SHOP

Department stores do it, so why shouldn’t you? Utilize the ‘process of elimination’ to weed out the indegent agents. Why bother interviewing a real estate agent who doesn’t bother to come back buyer’s calls? Start with a contact. Approximately half of most buyer enquiry arrives via email.

If you distribute 10 emails to 10 local realtors, I can almost guarantee that you’ll not receive 10 replies. If only 5 reply, you then have just saved yourself needing to interview 5 agents. . Include your contact number in your email. Do they call you back? Or do they just email a standard response? A realtor who follows up with a call has a much better chance of ‘closing a sale’ than a realtor who sends a standard reply.
