Finding the Best
Real Estate Professional
Finding the right real estate professional requires doing a
little research and asking a few questions. You need to know everything
about the selling process. What is the marketing strategy? What kind of
advertising will be done? Is the REALTOR®
capable and willing to communicate effectively? Can the
REALTOR®
effectively present and sell the less-noticeable assets of the property?
Real estate professionals also need to be knowledgeable about
the community. They need to have a feel for the history of the area and the
approximate price that people will be willing to pay. Also, real estate
agents should know what the competition is and how much it will affect your
sale.
Never choose a REALTOR®
on price alone. Remember that a REALTOR®
cannot magically raise the selling price of your house. Consider the buyer. The purchaser won't willingly pay too much; it's
very likely that he or she
will do research on the market and try to find the best product for the best
price. The facts simply cannot be changed, no matter which
REALTOR®
you select. In spite of these unchangeable factors, the
REALTOR®
you select must still be diligent and knowledgeable.
If your property does not elicit attention within several
weeks, the cause can most likely be attributed to one of these three
factors: location, condition, and price. The location obviously cannot be
changed. You should consider examining the condition of your property and
reevaluating the marketing strategy. Ask your
REALTOR®
to offer an explanation of the competition as well as your pricing strategy.
