So, you’ve decided to sell your home. Now’s a perfect time because it’s a great seller’s market. However, how do you find an agent that can get you the best deal possible? Today I want to talk about the steps you should take to find a great agent to sell your home.
1. Visit open houses. Even if you aren’t planning on selling your home right this second, visiting open houses is a good way to meet a wide variety of agents. When it comes time to sell, you’ll have a list of contacts ready to go.
2. Get a personal referral. You should ask everyone you can if they know a great agent. Coworkers, family, and community members are all good places to start asking around.
3. Check the agent’s track record. There are plenty of new agents, and they have to start somewhere, but do you really want to be their first sale? I recommend you look for someone with plenty of experience.
“There are plenty of ways to do an inspection without spooking your seller.”
4. Compare online reviews. Comparing online presences is one way to get a feel for an agent. Are they hard to find? Are positive reviews readily available? Ideally, your agent has a significant online presence.
5. Work with a team. Individual agents can be fine, but if you want to guarantee success, you should work with a team. It’s pretty simple: two heads are better than one. Instead of one person doing all the work, teams have people dedicated to marketing your home, researching your area, and making sure you get top dollar.
6. Talk about communication. Like in all relationships, communication is key. Do you prefer calling or texting? How often do you want updates? These are all important questions you should talk to your agent about.
I hope these steps gave you a good idea of where to start when looking for an
agent. If you have any questions, please call or email me. I have a more
comprehensive list of steps to take when selling your home that I am happy
to give you with no strings attached.
