1. Can You Pass Along a List of References?
Excellent real estate agents are constantly working on several different house transactions. Make sure to request references for the last five closed listings your agent has worked on. Ensure that these references were satisfied with the service, the outcomes, and any feedback they may have provided
2. Can You Provide the Details of Your Last 12 Months' Sales?
From this information, you will be able to determine if the agent can price their listings effectively and sell them within a reasonable amount of time.
3. How Many Homes Have You Sold in My Neighborhood?
Agents who are active in your area will know your home's advantages and disadvantages and know how to appropriately price and market your home for a great price.
4. How Long Have You Been a Real Estate Agent?
Hire an agent with enough experience who is current with recent trends in the market and incorporates the latest tools and technologies.
5. Are You a Part-Time or Full-Time Agent?
If you're looking for a Santa Clara real estate agent, don't waste your time with someone who isn't a full-time agent.
6. How Many Sellers Are You Currently Representing?
Being too busy in real estate can lead to poor service and results.
7. What’s the Ratio Between Buyers and Sellers You Represent?
An active listing agent will be able to get your home in tip-top selling shape faster and more efficiently than an agent who only does a few listings a year.
8. Will I Be Working With You Directly or With a Team?
You should be dealing directly with the agent you interviewed at all times and have a direct number where you can reach them.
9. How Do You Plan to Market the Home?
A great real estate agent should know their market, and their marketing plan should be tailored to the market, your home, and your goals.
10. Do You Have Professional Trades People in Your Network?
There are lots of aspects involved in selling a home in our local market. One of the roles an agent can assume is a project manager and leverage their resources to get your home ready quickly.
11. Do You Offer Staging As Part of Your Services?
Staging is such a vital component of our marketing. A home's staging should compliment the home, and make it feel bright, and stylish while optimally defining the home's spaces and their use.
12. How did you Pick the Comparables for Your CMA (comparative market analysis)?
Every agent you meet with will present you with a market analysis of your home. This will help you understand how well the agent knows your home, the area and how confident they are in their valuation.
13. How Do Your Realtor Fees Work?
Real estate commissions are not regulated, and therefore there is no standard commission. Agents can charge whatever the feel is reasonable. Our listing side commission can vary between 1-3%.
