Experience and local knowledge
- How long have you been selling real estate, and is it your full-time work?
- How many homes like mine have you sold in this area recently?
- What is happening in my neighborhood right now: inventory, days on market, list-to-sale price?
Pricing
- What price do you recommend, and which sales support it?
- What happens if we don't get an offer in the first few weeks?
- Be cautious of the agent who quotes the highest price without the data to back it up.
Marketing
- Who takes the photos, and will there be a floor plan and video?
- Where will my home be advertised, and how will you reach other agents?
- Do you hold open houses, and do you recommend one for my home?
Communication
- How often will I hear from you, and how: call, text or email?
- Will I work with you directly, or with someone on your team?
- How will you share feedback from showings?
The agreement
- What is the length of the listing agreement, and can I cancel it?
- What is your commission? (All commissions are negotiable.)
- How will offers of compensation to a buyer's agent be handled?
- What costs, if any, do I pay up front?
I'm happy to answer every one of these. Call or text 786-556-6446 or send me a message.
