So you've decided to hire an agent to help you sell your home, now all you have to do is interview them to make sure they are the right fit for you! Not all agents are the same or provide the same services. Here is a list of 6 VERY important questions that will help you in your search for the right agent!


1. How many years of experience do you have selling homes?

The more experience the better! Chances are they will already have experience selling homes similar to yours!  But also be aware that new agents are not deal breakers. There is no magic number, but sellers should be comfortable with their agent's experience and be able to trust them when it comes to getting their home sold.

2. How many homes have you sold in my town in the past 10 years?

If your agent has had many years of experience 10 years is the perfect reference number! Throughout the past 10 years, the market has fluctuated from a weak market to a strong market. This provides you with more information on your agent! 

3. What kind of marketing do you provide?

Marketing is very important for sellers, marketing will help your home reach a larger audience. 

4. How will you communicate with me?

Communication is very important, it is crucial that you can reach your real estate agent when you need them. Will you have access to email, text, face to face appointments, and phone calls? 

5. What kind of services do you provide to sellers?

Some real estate agents provide extra services such as professional photography and home staging, these services can help get your home sold faster!

6. Do you work alone or as part of a team?

Meet the team! Get to know everyone on the team, know what they do and how it will ultimately help you get your home sold!
