Choosing Your Broker
Picking the
right person to sell your home is one of the most important parts of
the selling process. Interview at least 2 or 3 brokers from different
agencies. Ask them all the same questions, so you can compare their
answers. Find out what they would do to sell your house Above all,
pick a broker that you like and feel comfortable with. This person is
going to be helping you make the biggest sale of your life, so find
someone you believe will do that job well!
Here are some questions you might use when you interview real estate
brokers.
-
How many years
have you been in this business?
-
How long have
you been selling homes in this area?
-
How many homes
have you sold in the past year?
-
What is your
commission rate? Is it negotiable?
-
How would you
market my home if I sign with you?
-
Will you be
holding open houses, and if so, will you personally host them?
-
Can you give
me references of other families who have used your services?
Negotiate
the broker's commission prior to listing your home and sign for a
limited period of time (three to six months is usually sufficient) .
