How to Find the Right Real Estate Agent
Finding a real estate agent is easy?"just put up a "For Sale" sign and your phone will start ringing. The real challenge is finding a great real estate agent who will effectively manage your sale. Here are some tips to guide you.
Start with Research
Local Listings and Guides:
Begin by picking up your local weekend newspaper or a few real estate guides. Scan the listings to find properties similar to yours. If you’re selling a cabin, look for cabin listings; if it’s a lakefront mansion, search for those.
Identify Experienced Agents:
Take note of the agents handling properties like yours. An agent with experience selling million-dollar homes might not be the best choice for a mobile home. Look for those who have successfully sold properties similar to yours in terms of type and price range.
Key Questions to Ask
1. Experience with Similar Properties:
- When contacting agents, ensure they have experience with properties like yours. Request examples of similar sales.
2. Marketing Strategy:
- Ask how they plan to market your property. Beyond basic ads and listings, do they have potential buyers looking for properties like yours? How do they network with other agents?
3. Showing the Property:
- Find out how often they personally show their listings. Some agents rely on others to sell their listings, which might not benefit you. A hands-on agent will guide potential buyers through the property.
4. Involvement in Closings:
- Check if they handle their own closings. Having one point of contact throughout the process is beneficial. It ensures consistency and simplifies communication when issues arise.
Insider Insights
Open Houses:
- Be aware that open houses often serve as prospecting events for agents rather than effective selling tools. New agents may be sent to host your open house to find potential buyers for other homes.
Ads Without Prices:
- Ads lacking prices might be a tactic to generate calls from buyers. Ensure your property's ads include the price to attract serious buyers and prevent potential ones from passing by.
Trust Your Instincts
Your comfort with an agent is crucial. If you feel uneasy, potential buyers might too. It's important to not only like your agent but also believe they're the right fit for selling your property.
By following these steps and asking the right questions, you can find a real estate agent who aligns with your needs and maximizes the potential of your property sale.
