Unless you enjoy the challenges of selling a home by yourself, you’ll want a professional real estate agent to represent your interests and help you complete the sale. Retain a trusted real estate agent to sell a home faster and at the best price. Follow these essential tips to get started
Steps:
Ask your friends and neighbors about agents they know or who have helped them sell homes. You can also check the classifieds and real estate websites.
Invite two or three agents who specialize in your area to come to your home and give a presentation on how they would sell it.
Prepare specific questions for the agents, like whether your home will be listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), if they are members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), and if their commission is negotiable.
Ask about the marketing programs each agent offers, such as open houses, newspaper ads, or mailings.
Have each agent estimate the value of your home.
Make your choice and pick an agent to help sell your home. Make sure you both understand each other’s expectations.
Tell the agent how often you’d like updates.
Make sure everything is in writing.
Tips:
When interviewing potential agents, look for notable titles like CRS (Certified Residential Specialist), GRI (Graduate, Realtor Institute), CRP (Certified Relocation Professional), CRB (Licensed Real Estate Broker), and CRE (Counselor of Real Estate).
Also, consider a real estate firm that charges a flat fee to sell your home instead of taking a percentage of the selling price.
Warnings:
Be careful of agents who claim they can sell your home for a very high price. They might suggest a high price to win your business and then try to lower it later.
