Chicago Real Estate Agent: Ask an agent these questions first

Описание: Choosing an agent to sell your home is not an easy task. Before you hire someone, you need to ask certain questions to make sure they are the right fit. The first thing you should inquire about is the agent’s experience. An experienced agent with a proven track record of selling homes is much more appealing than a brand new agent who is learning on the fly. To see the other three questions you should be asking an agent before hiring them, watch this short video!

Today we are going through the four questions you need to ask an agent before you hire them to sell your home. There are a vast array of questions you could be asking, but what are the best ones? We’re going to go through them, right now!

1. What is your experience?
This varies from agent to agent, making it one of the most important questions to ask. Is this agent new to the career, and learning on the go with your home? Or is the agent experienced, with a track record of selling homes. The latter is the more comfortable hire to make, and the agent more likely to sell your home for top dollar.

2. What is your communication plan?
After a showing, will they be letting you know how it went, what the potential buyers said, and how you can improve the home to help it show better? A good agent is available to their client at any time.

3. Are you a passive agent, or an active agent?
There are two ways to sell a home. There is passive marketing, which consists of putting a home up on the MLS and hoping it sells. Active marketing is when your agent is out every day actively looking for buyers for your home.

4. Do you have the right tools to sell my home?
Do they have the systems in place to capture buyers, showcase your home, and make sure they get offers? Do they have a lead generation system that will put buyers into your home? An agent needs a plethora of real estate resources in order to get top dollar for your home.
