Ten Critical Questions to ask Your Realtor BEFORE Listing!

1. Is selling real estate your full time job?

2. How many years have you sold real estate?

3. What percentage of your listings sell?

4. Do you work with a personal assistant? (This one is key. Many agents use an assistant to help them list as many homes as possible, 20,30 sometimes more. It doesn't matter if YOUR HOUSE doesn't sell, if they even sell 25% of what they have listed they'll make a good living. Also they will meet buyers calling on YOUR HOUSE and sell them something else. Would you want surgery from your doctor or would his/her assistant be good enough? YOUR HOUSE is your most valuable asset - list with someone who will take responsibility for the marketing of it.)

5. Will my house be on the INTERNET?

6. How many other sales representatives will preview my house?

7. Do you provide me with a detailed written marketing plan highlighting promotions, advertisements and all other efforts being taken to sell my house? Or do you just talk about what you will do?

8. How many corporate relocations does your company handle? Do you work with any corporate relocating buyers? (Royal LePage works with 4 out of every 5 corporate relocation in Canada. These are the best buyers because they usually have no house to sell and they are buying within a few days.)

9. How many listings do you handle at one time? (Steve Wiggett does not handle any more than 12 listings at one time.)

10. Will you give me the names and numbers of the vendors of all your current listings? (A very powerful question. Is it smoke and mirrors or are you listing with the agent with the best marketing plan to get your house sold?)
