Questions to Ask When Hiring a Realtor

When you hire a Realtor as a seller, you should have high expectations. Most agents offer strong and vigorous representation. Here are a few things to ask yourself when you’ve listed your home for sale with an agent.

Ask yourself:

Is my agent properly marketing my home for sale?

• Did they use professional photographers, videographers or drone providers?

• Is my home listed on all the public search websites?

• Are they holding open houses for the public and real estate agent showcase?

Did my agent offer a complete market analysis?

• Did you see comparable properties that sold recently?

• Are you priced competitively?

Does your agent respond quickly to other agents and to you?

How often do you hear from your agent? A couple of times a week should be the minimum.

Do you get quick feedback after a showing?

Do you still have questions that are still unanswered by your agent? If the answer is yes, try having a conversation with your agent or the managing broker – they can be found in the office where your agent works. Explain your concerns and ask for help.

Hiring an agent is one of the best decisions you can make when selling your home. Make sure you’ve hired the right one!
