4 THINGS YOU NEED FROM YOUR LISTING AGENT

Are you thinking of selling your house? Are you dreading having to deal with strangers

walking through your home? Are you worried about getting the paperwork correct? Hiring

a professional real estate agent can take away most of the challenges of selling. A great

agent is always worth more than the commission they charge just like a great doctor or great

accountant. You want to deal with one of the best agents in your marketplace. To do this, you

must be able to distinguish the average agent from the great one. If you plan to hire an agent to sell your home, require that they:

1. Understand the Timetable with Which Your Family is Under

You will be moving your family to a new home. Whether the move revolves around the start

of a new school year or the start of a new job, you will be trying to put the move to a plan.

This can be very emotionally draining. Demand from your agent an appreciation for the

timetables you are setting. You must understand that your agent can not pick the exact date

for your move, but you want them to exert any influence that they can.

2. Remove as Many of the Challenges as Possible

It is imperative that your agent know how to handle the challenges that will arise. An agent’s

ability to negotiate is critical in this market.”
