What Every Seller Should Ask Their Potential Agent

Seller

Entrusting the sale of your Jacksonville home into the capable hands of a qualified real estate agent is an important step in not only selling your home in a reasonable amount of time, but also getting the best price for your home.

Your ability to find the best, most qualified real estate agent to sell your Jacksonville home should be on the top of your list of priorities.

When interviewing potential real estate agents, the following questions should be asked:

What information about yourself can you provide me? Do you have any promotional materials I can review?

How long have you been working in the field? What is your education and qualifications? What professional organizations do you belong to?

How many homes have you listed and sold in the Jacksonville area in the past year?

How many listings do you currently have (too many listings may mean the agent is too busy to focus on selling your property)?

How will you market my home? What are your typical marketing strategies?

How long does it typically take to sell a home like mine?

Will I deal directly with you, or do you have an assistant or associate who will be my point of contact?

How will you determine the listing price for my home? What strategies do you use?

What does your listing agreement entail? What is the standard listing agreement time frame? What fees will I be paying and what is your commission?

Understanding your agent’s strategies and goals, and learning about the agent and his or her education and experience can better equip you to make a sound decision when selling your Jacksonville home.
