Selling a home can be daunting. In fact, it can be a full-time job. For many people, it makes sense to hire an expert to handle the time-consuming tasks and the nitty-gritty details. Real estate agents can take work off your hands and also help you get a better deal. These are the 10 most important questions you should ask an agent before signing a listing contract:
- How long have you been a licensed Realtor?
- How many buyers are you working with?
- How big is your company?
- How long has your company been in the business?
- What percentage of your listings sell?
- What is your average marketing time?
- Do you have testimonials from past clients?
- How often do you stay in touch with me?
- How are you different from other agents in the area?
- Why should I hire you?
