Important Questions to Ask When Hiring a Real Estate Agent

Questions to Ask when Hiring a Real Estate Agent
It is very important to interview several potential Realtors when considering selling your home. The general rule of thumb is interview at least 3 real estate agents before making your decision.
Namely you should be prepared to ask each Realtor the same series of questions. Taking notes of each of their answers will help you compare later. Below, we have compiled a short list of questions you should ask when interviewing.
1. How many home have you personally sold in my neighborhood in the last year and how many has your company sold?
2. What is your companies average sale price per house sold and what is your average sale price per house sold?
3. Will you be responding personally to each potential buyer call that comes in to your office on my property?
4. What is the length of your contract and if I feel I am not getting the service you promised, can I cancel my contract with your agency. And if so, will you put that in writing?
5. What exactly would be your plan of action to get my property sold?
6. Are you a part time or full time real estate agent?
7. Can you provide me with client references from last year? And if so, can I contact them?
8. Would it be acceptable if I wish to contact your office's sales manager to ask him or her the same questions?
Please understand that these questions are merely to aid you in the interviewing process. Ultimately your comfort level and ability to have open channels of communication with your Realtor is of the utmost importance.
Best of luck in your hiring decision.
