Selecting the Best
Real Estate Agent for You
|
Let's face it: selling or buying your home is probably one of the biggest,
most daunting projects you will ever take on in your life. It's a monumental
event that could impact a large part of at least the next few years
of your life, and it's for that reason that a lot of homeowners looking
to buy or sell homes or commercial property will turn to a real estate
agent or Realtor for help.
Having the assistance of a Realtor by your side can be very reassuring,
especially for a homeowner in their first round of dealings. If you
have never sold a home before, the legality of it all can be quite overwhelming
and that's what the agent does for you; the position of real estate
agent is designed to alleviate as much stress off of your shoulders
as possible when it comes to legal and business matters relating to
the sale, potential or otherwise, of your home or property. They do
most of the footwork for you if you pay them, from advertising to showing
the property to closing the sale. They can have as little or as much
participation in the matter as possible.
In a sense, you are going to have to interview people for the position
as your real estate agent just as the hiring position would go were
you hiring for some other type of position. When selecting an agent,
think back on how well known properties were that they represented before
this? Do they have a name that you have heard or seen before, perhaps
on flyers, yard signs, billboards, or even local television? The more
well known an agent is the more reputable they tend to be, and the more
reputable they are, the more negotiating power they are going to carry
with them when it comes to selling your home for the highest possible
price, or purchasing it for yourself at the lowest possible cost; that,
of course means a higher rate of commission for them, as well as profiting
your pocket as the homeowner and prime beneficiary of the sale.
When you are selecting an agent, be sure that they are willing to provide
you with a detailed blue print on how they intend things to go from
that point on out. Ensure that you and your prospective agent discuss
how they plan to inform others that your property is on the market.
Are they going to post an ad on the Internet? Are they including your
particular property in a flyer or circular? Be sure to ask them how
much time they plan to devote to your particular account. If you are
looking to sell your property on a schedule or if you are in a time
crunch, a part time real estate agent just will not do. Be sure that
details regarding fees and commissions are disclosed properly prior
to any type of agreement, especially a contractual agreement.
