Choosing a Realtor Who's Right for You

SENT TO Gulf SHORE

A qualified Realtor can greatly facilitate the process of selling your property. Finding a good Realtor, however, takes time and requires a bit of research and homework to ensure that you have found a good fit.

A qualified real estate agent can help you find a home, tell you how much your home is worth and what to list your home for, recommend lenders and home inspectors, coordinate your homeโ€™s closing and help coordinate negotiations for your Coppell real estate.

The following tips will help you find a qualified Realtor:

  • Get referrals from friends, family, neighbors and business associates. Choose at least three Realtors who you will then interview. Some common questions to ask a Realtor during the interview process include:
    • How long have you been in business?
    • Will I work with you or with a business associate or assistant?
    • How many homes have you sold in the neighborhoods that I am looking at?
    • What marketing techniques will you use to sell my home?
    • How many clients do you currently have?
    • Do you work full-time (a part-time Realtor may not be able to devote the time needed to sell your home.)?
  • Learn about the Realtorโ€™s qualifications, including continuing education and training.
  • Ask your Realtor for referrals. A qualified real estate agent should have a long list of referrals from which to choose. Any Realtor hesitant to give you referrals should be avoided.
  • Determine whether your personalities mesh well together. No matter how qualified a real estate agent is, if you donโ€™t feel comfortable around him or her, then the relationship will not work. You will need to have frequent, honest conversations, so donโ€™t take this area too lightly.

Find a Realtor who is easy to talk to, who answers your questions directly and honestly, and is readily available to answer questions and address concerns at any given time.
