Selling your home isn’t easy.
It’s a lot of work and it’s critical you get it right. If not, you risk losing thousands of dollars.
And your choice of agent is critical to the process. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to choosing a great realtor – so you can make an informed decision.
That way you’re more likely to have an enjoyable experience, and a great outcome.
Here’s how to pick the best realtor, so you get a great price for your home.
1. Make Them Work
Interview several agents before you decide. Not sure what to ask? We’ve got you covered!
Here are some questions to ask and information on what the agent should be doing to sell your home.
2. Go Local
Make sure your agent knows the local area because people will ask them about the local facilities. Your agent should be able to give people good solid information on the area.
3. Check Their Fees
Some agents may charge different rates to others and it’s useful to know what you’re getting into.
But don’t go for the cheapest deal. Cheap is not necessarily cheerful.
Look for VALUE. This is just like buying any other product or service in that you generally get what you pay for.
You want to be well looked after during this process, so be sure you get value for money. Aim to get the best service, a professional attitude, and you’ll get a better result.
4. Get Comfortable
Make sure you’re comfortable with the person you ultimately choose. If you’re not comfortable selling with this person, you can’t expect people to be happy to buy from them.
5. Check the Small Print
Read the contract and be clear on any cancellation clauses. If you have a contract with a conditional release and you want to change agents part way through the contract, you must wait until the end of that contract.
Opt for an agent who offers an unconditional release so you have the flexibility you need.
At Residencity, we will always offer an unconditional release because we’re confident we can get you great results. Unlike traditional real estate agents we aim to give you the best value for money.
We’re focused exclusively on selling your home and provide services that are designed to maximize your sale.
