Choosing the right real estate professional can have a significant impact on your selling experience. Before selecting someone to represent you, ask questions that help you understand their experience, marketing strategy, communication style and approach to your specific property.
Questions to Ask Before Choosing Your REALTOR®
• How will you determine the appropriate listing price for my home?
• What does your market analysis include, and how will current market conditions affect our pricing strategy?
• What marketing strategies will you use to promote my property and reach prospective buyers?
• How will my property be presented online, through photography, digital marketing and social media?
• What experience do you have with properties similar to mine and with my local market?
• What improvements, repairs or preparations would you recommend before listing?
• What potential buyer objections or challenges do you anticipate, and how would you address them?
• How and how often will you communicate with me throughout the selling process?
• How do you approach negotiations, competing offers and multiple-offer situations?
• How will you help me evaluate an offer beyond just the purchase price, including financing, contingencies, timelines and other terms?
• What steps do you take to help manage the transaction from contract through inspections, appraisal, title and closing?
• How will you help position my property competitively while working toward my individual selling goals?
A REALTOR® should provide more than simply placing a property on the market. Professional seller representation can include pricing strategy, market analysis, property positioning, marketing, negotiation, transaction management and ongoing communication throughout the selling process.
When evaluating a real estate professional, consider their experience, responsiveness, local market knowledge, negotiation skills, marketing approach and whether they have a clear strategy tailored to your property and your goals.
