Tips On Selecting Your Realtor
The sale of your home can be a highly emotionally charged event, even
when the move is an anticipatory one. Finding THE RIGHT person to
represent your interest is of utmost importance to make this transition as
stress-free as possible.
 Consider what your needs will be and find a professional who can meet
those needs AND do a fantastic job for you.
- Decide how much YOU want to participate in the process - including
the details of getting the house ready for sale, hiring the painters,
haulers, etc.
- Do you want to actually move prior to putting the house on the
market or can you handle having the house shown to potential buyers
while you are preparing for the move?
Things to consider when interviewing potential candidates:
- Get referrals from friends/colleagues/advisors
- Check their reputation within the community
- Communication and listening skills
- Experience - Years in
business
- Attention to details and follow through
- Willingness to spend the time YOU require to understand every aspect
of contracts and the legal and technical issues involved
- Honesty in presenting realistic prices
- Experience with working with elder population
- Experience in working with trusts
- Knowledge of current real estate law and requirements
- Ability to keep confidentiality about your situation
