Boca Raton Real Estate Agent

When looking for an agent just do not look for his or her plaques on the wall. Make sure he or she has your best interests at heart. Here are a few questions you should ask.

1: How are you going to market my property?
2: Where do you pull your Buyers from?
3: In a slow market why should I choose you as my Boca Raton Real Estate Agent.
4: Do you have an internet marketing plan?
5: How often are you going to communicate with me?
6: If I have a problem with you can I cancel our listing agreement without penalty?
7: How long is our Listing Agreement?
8: If you bring the buyer and receive the total commission will you discount your commission?
9: Are you a Enhanced Showcase Member of Realtor.com?
10: As my Boca Raton Real Estate Agent, are you going to work hard for me?

These are just a few questions to ask your prospective real estate agent. You should probably interview at least 3. Generally speaking, you should interview one from a large company, one from a small company, and one who sends you a newsletter or postcard of somekind who seems eager to get your business as this is his area of expertise. Maybe the 4th should be someone who you were referred to by a friend or family member that has done business with him.

You may also want to know that this is not a bad market. It is a market where the cream definitely rises to the top and sells. If your home is priced correctly, and is clean, upgraded, and free of clutter your home will sell. You should definitely listen to experts that do not have emotional ties to your furniture or accessories as you may believe your home is clean or shows great, but it may need some tinkering around. Good Selling!!
