Here are three questions you should ask when you interview listing agents.

So you want to sell your home; how do you choose a real estate agent? This is a crucial question I want to answer because there’s nothing worse than calling an agent, entering a binding contract with the brokerage, and then realizing two months later that it was the wrong choice. You could end up in a nightmare. There are three main questions you need to ask agents to stay informed and choose the right one for you:

1. What is your written marketing plan? Ensure the agent has something written down so they can show you how they’re going to sell your home. 

2. What is your proven track record? Make sure they have something in writing that can tell you about their experience in selling homes. 

3. Can I call three references that you’ve worked with? Hearing firsthand from their clients will give you a great idea of what it’s like to work with them.

“There’s nothing worse than realizing you’ve hired the wrong agent.”

If you check these three things with the agents you’re interviewing, you’ll have a better chance of hiring the right agent. We have a 15-point questionnaire that will guide you through all the questions to ask when hiring an agent. We give it to all of our clients before they choose us. We want them to be informed, and we want you to be as well. 

If you’re interested in the 15-point questionnaire, just type in “15-point questionnaire” in the comments below or private message me with that phrase, and we’ll send a copy over to you. If you have further questions about hiring an agent or anything else, call us at (717) 216-0860 or email dave@davehooketeam.com. We would love to help you.
