Common Questions Sellers Ask Their Agent

Seller

Selling your home can be a stressful time, as most homeowners are looking to (a) sell their home for as much as they can; and (b) sell their home as quickly as possible.

Luckily, a qualified real estate agent can help accomplish both of the above mentioned goals.

Your real estate agent is there to not only market and sell your Jacksonville property, but to provide you with support and assistance, and to answer any questions you may have.

The following is a list of common questions that buyers ask about their agent:

My house hasn’t sold? Should I look for another agent?

Although there isn’t any one answer as to why your Jacksonville property hasn’t sold, the number one reason a home doesn’t sell is because it is overpriced. Other reasons, such as the current market, competition and the condition of the home all play a role into a home’s ability to sell. Reevaluating your pricing and marketing strategy is usually the first step in determining why your home hasn’t sold.

How can I find the best agent to sell my house?

You can begin by asking friends, family members, co-workers and neighbors for referrals. It is best to interview at least two or three agents to decide which agent will best fit your needs. When interviewing agents it is important to ask about their education, experience, knowledge of the area in which you are selling, and track record.

It is also very important to establish a rapport with your agent, as he or she will be working closely with you throughout the home selling process.

How will my agent determine a listing price for my house?

Agents use several tools when determining a listing price for a house. Your agent will likely use MLS records to review past sales, pending sales and active listings of homes in your area. Your agent will also use his or her knowledge about the area and of your particular property to further refine the listing price of your home.

The bottom line, however, is that your agent will only recommend a listing price for your home. It is up to you to make the final determination after reviewing the agent’s recommendations.
