Selling a home is a huge decision! It can also be an emotional one. Having an agent who has your best interest in mind and has a strong understand of the market in your area is crucial.
Listing a home for sale is a big responsibility and requires a lot of skill, research, project management, and marketing. Behind every listing I take is a large team of people, all working to make sure my client is set up for success. This team includes, photographers, title officers, escrow closers, lenders, inspectors, transaction coordinators, marketing assistants, and where appropriate landscapers, contractors, and stagers.
Here are a few of the questions I get the most regarding listing a home:
Q. How much does it cost to hire you as my agent?
A. I do not have a set commission price. I work with each person as an individual to figure out what works best for both of us in each situation.
Q. How long does the process take?
A. That depends on a number of factors that we cover in our very first meeting. For more information on what the process looks like, check out my helpful blog on The Home Sale Process.
Q. What if I want to meet with multiple agents? Will you meet with me even if I’m not sure I want to use you?
A. Of course! I recommend everyone interview a couple of agents. It is important that you work with an agent who you are completely comfortable. No one agent is right for everyone.
Q. If we meet and I like you, am I guaranteed you’ll take my listing?
A. I accept about 60% of the listings I’m offered and for those I’m unable to take I recommend another talented agent. I’ll only take your listing if we both believe I’m the most qualified person for the job.
