How do you know if your Realtor® is right for you?

Hiring a Realtor® to sell your home can seem like a daunting task.  With the information available to all of us on the Internet, you can easily find a list of Realtors® in your area by visiting Realtor.com. Here you can search licensed agents in your area, view their profiles, communities they serve and contact information.  I would recommend you hire a Realtor® for all of your real estate needs and the easiest way to be sure that your real estate agent is a Realtor®, is to find them on Realtor.com.  

A few ways you can check if your Realtor® is right for you:

- Did they answer their phone or call you back in a timely fashion?
- Did they listen to your needs and ask questions to find out your goals and requirements?
- Were they interested in your home and ask questions about any upgrades, repairs or improvements you have made?
- Did they have accurate information in their market analysis? 

Having accurate information in your market analysis is very important.  If your agent has included homes in their report that you know are outside of your community, they may not be the right person for the job.  When you interview agents to sell your home ask if they brought examples of their marketing of other homes so you can see their work.  The number one thing to keep in mind when interviewing Realtors for the job of selling your home is their marketing and negotiation skills. If they cannot provide marketing examples or if they do not market themselves well, maybe you want to consider someone else.  I suggest you interview 3 local real estate professionals for the job and choose the one you feel will do the best job for you.
