Choosing a Realtor
|
When it's time to sell your home, one
of the first things you should consider is who is going to help you
through the process. Choosing a realtor is one of the most important
decisions you will make during the selling process, and it isn't a decision
to be made lightly.
Too many house sellers make their choice of realtors a hasty one. Calling
the first number in the yellow pages is not a good idea, and neither
is using the first realtor whose signs you see in front lawns around
town. Just because a realtor is established does not necessarily mean
they are a good fit for you. As with any major financial decision, this
is a time to do your homework.
The first factor in choosing a realtor is looking for one with experience.
In this sense, signs around town can be good, but only if all the other
factors fit, too. Look for a company that has been in business successfully
for a number of years, and ask about properties they have handled in
the past. Chances are an experienced realtor will know just what to
do with you and your home's particular situation. Use this as a chance
to get references from people who have used this realtor in the past-
many realtors keep a list of satisfied clients who are willing to supply
information to potential sellers- and do your research.
Another important factor is education. It's becoming easier and easier
these days for just about anyone to get a real estate license. Unfortunately
not a great deal of education is required for a person to be allowed
to deal in real estate. So ask about credentials. Look for special certifications
and degrees that prove your realtor has actually studied the business
beyond simply filling in test blanks.
Finally, go with your instinct. If your potential realtor says things
that just don't sound right to you- for example, claiming they can sell
your house for much more than it its appraisal value- think twice before
investing time and money with this person. If you don't trust them,
you're not going to be happy during the selling process and things can
go badly very quickly. Look for a realtor who is able to match your
style and respond to your needs. Each sale is important to the realtor,
as well as the seller, and if you're made to feel like a number, it's
time to look somewhere else.
A realtor can be a major benefit during the house selling process...
or they can create major problems. So choose wisely. You (and your money)
will be involved with this person for some time to come.
