How long have you been in residential real estate sales? ls it your full-time job? While experienceis no guaranteeof skill, real estate- like many other professions- is mostlylearnedon the job. 2. What designations do you hold? Designationssuch as GRI and CRS@,which requirethat agentstake additional,specializedreal estatetraining,are held only by about one-quarterof real estate practitioners. 3. How many homes did you and your real estate brokerage sell last year? By askingthis question,you'll get a good idea of how much experiencethe praclitionerhas. 4. How many days did it take you to sell the average home? How did that compare to the overall market? The REALTOR@you interview should have these facts on hand, and be able to present market statistics from the local MLS to providea comparison. 5. How close to the initial asking prices of the homes you sold were the final sale prices? This is one indication of how skilledthe REALTOR@is at pricinghomesand marketingto suitablebuyers.Of course,other factorsalso may be at play, includingan exceptionallyhot or cool real estatemarket. 6. What types of specific marketing systems and approaches will you use to sell my home? You don't want someonewho's going to put a For Sale sign in the yard and hope for the best. Look for someonewho has aggressive and innovative approaches, and knows how to market your property competitivelyon the lnternet. Buyers today want informationfast, so it's importantthat your REALTOR@is responsive. 7. Will you represent me exclusively, or will you represent both the buyer and the seller in the transaction? While it's usuallylegalto representboth partiesin a transaction,it's importantto understandwhere the practitione/s obligationslie. Your REALTOR@shouldexplainhis or her agencyrelationshipto you and describethe rightsof each party. 8. What type of gupport and supervision does your brokerage office provide to you? Having resources such as in-house support staff, access to a real estate attorney,and assistancewith technology can help an agent sell your home. 9. What's your business philosophy? While there'sno rightanswerto this question,the responsewill help you assesswhat's importantto the agent and determinehow closelythe agents goals and businessemphasismesh with your own. 10. How will you keep me informed about the progress of my transaction? How frequently? Again, this is not a question with a correct answer, but how you judge the responsewill reflect your own desires. Do you want updates twice a week or do you prefer not to be bothered unless there's a hot prospect? Do you prefer phone, e-mail, or a personalvisit? 11. Could you please give me the names and phone numbers of your three most recent clients? Ask recent clientsif they would work with this REALTOR@again. Find out whetherthey were pleasedwith the communication style, follow-up, and work ethic of the REALTOR@.
