The decision to sell your home is one of the biggest you’ll make in your life. Finding the right realtor to help you do it is almost as important.
To an outsider – and especially one who is looking ahead to a new city, career direction, or personal situation – most realtors can seem very similar. But, when you look more closely, you find that there really are differences between the professionals in our industry… and that the right realtor can help you sell your home faster, for more money, and with less hassle.
So how do you find the perfect person to work with? Here are a few things you should look for when choosing a realtor to help you sell your house:
Look for Enthusiasm and Experience
Experience can be invaluable to creating interest in a real estate listing. That’s because there are some things you just can’t learn in school, and every veteran realtor has a few tricks up his or her sleeve that make a property seem “hot” and appealing. Enthusiasm is important, too, because excitement spreads from one person to another, and you definitely want homebuyers feeling excited when they see your house for the first time.
Learn About Your Realtor’s Strategy
If you want to know how a realtor will go about generating interest in your home, simply ask them. The best ones will give you a few different ideas and insights, while the ones you want to avoid will give you vague answers (or no answer at all). Just be sure that what you hear makes sense to you, and that seems like a modern, up-to-date approach.
Choose a Company You Trust
Remember, realtors don’t work alone – they have support staff and entire companies behind them. It’s no coincidence that the best realtors tend to work for the most trusted and ethical companies, while the ones you want to avoid associate with businesses that aren’t quite as well-regarded. Choose a realtor and a firm you can trust, because that’s the best way to avoid problems or disagreements later.
Talk to Former Clients
If you really want to know what it’s going to be like working with a realtor, ask someone who has worked with them in the past. It’s especially helpful if you can talk to someone who has been in your situation, and sold similar home in the past. Former clients should be happy to heap praise on a great realtor, and it’s a great way to get some unfiltered and unbiased opinions.
