Your home is usually your most valuable asset, so when it comes to selling, you need to be certain you're putting in the hands of someone you can trust and who will achieve the best result possible. Choosing the right real estate agent can make a significant difference in the success of your sale and the process in general.
So where to start?
-
Research and compare: Start by researching local agents and comparing their experience, knowledge, and track record in your area. You can look for agents online, ask for referrals from friends and family, or check local real estate listings.
-
Interview multiple agents: Take the time to interview at least three agents. Ask about their experience, selling strategies, commission rates, and how they plan to market your property. This will help you get a sense of how they work and if they're a good fit for your needs.
-
Check their credentials: Make sure the agent is licensed and has top ratings and reviews. There are numerous websites that rate agents and include reviews, including www.domain.com.au and realestate.com.au.
-
Look for local knowledge: Look for an agent who has knowledge of your neighbourhood and the local real estate market. This can help them price your home accurately and market it effectively to potential buyers.
-
Check their references: Ask for references from the agent and follow up with past clients to get an idea of their experience working with the agent.
-
Trust your instincts: Ultimately, you should choose an agent who you feel comfortable with and trust to represent and advocate for you.
