5 Sure Ways to
Choose a Realtor®
If you're planning on moving this year, you'll need some help
in selling your home. Here are some suggestions on finding the
best Realtor® in your community to assist in marketing and selling
your home:
1. Choose your Realtor® with as much as care as
you would a lawyer or doctor. Friends, neighbors and co-workers
are often good sources for referrals. Try to find out as much
as possible about their home buying or selling experience. What
kind of service did they receive? Would they choose this Realtor®
again?
2. Attend open houses to observe sales associates
in action. How familiar were they with the property? Did they
show the home in a professional manner?
3. Look for sold signs in your neighborhood. A
Realtor® with a successful track record deserves consideration.
4. Talk to real estate agents who have experience
selling homes in the same price range as yours. You can get
leads by reading the real estate ads in your local newspaper.
5. Target local real estate companies. Realtors®
who work your area are best equipped to answers questions about
schools, businesses, places of worship and other services of
interest to prospective buyers.
