One of the most important things you can do when buying or selling a home is to hire the right real estate agent. There are several questions that you need to ask your agent before you hire them.

1. What is their list to sale price ratio? This tells you whether or not a Realtor is good at pricing and selling homes. Out of 100 homes, how many did they manage to sell? This will tell you a lot about the skill of the agent. My average is 90%, so you have a high chance of selling.
2. How is this person going to draw buyers into my home? Your agent will need to utilize multiple forms of marketing. I have a personalized approach for each and every seller, and this guarantees a wide audience for your property.
3. What percentage of their business is from past clients? Referrals are important, and this can tell you a lot about the customer service provided by this agent. You want someone who communicates with you throughout the entire process. This can make for a much easier and smoother home sale.

I look forward to hearing from you!
