You have decided to sell your most valuable asset and need a real estate agent to help guide you through the complex process of selling your home. Your objective is to get top dollar in the quickest amount of time with the least amount of inconvenience to you.
So how does one choose a real estate agent to entrust with such an important task? What should you be looking for in a real estate agent to ensure you meet your goals and objectives and that the process is managed successfully?
Solid Reputation
An agent who has a solid reputation means that she has done the same thing successfully over and over again and has a loyal following of satisfied clients. Our reputation is stellar and we would like to add you to our long list of satisfied clients.
Experience
Experience is not to be undervalued and only comes through many years of encountering different circumstances and learning how to deal with them as well as the myriad of complexities that may arise. Experienced real estate agents usually:
- have strong negotiation techniques acquired through experience
- offer solutions based on previous results
- are pro-active and anticipate issues before they occur
- understand the complexities of changing markets
- have a large data base of potential buyers for your house
- have a large network of experienced and trusted support staff such as mortgage lenders, home inspectors, lawyers, contractors etc.
- can help you avoid legal pitfalls which can cost you tens of thousands of dollars
- have crossed certain problems before and are familiar with how to “solve” such problems
We have 50 years of combined real estate experience to guide you through the process of selling your house.
Knowledge of the Area
Every agent can provide you with statistics about your area, houses that have sold, houses that are for sale or how long they took to sell. This information is available to all real estate agents. However, to provide utmost value, your agent needs to provide community level content to entice potential buyers. What cultural and community events will add flavour and a sense of belonging to the potential buyer? What are the best schools? What do people do for fun in the community? What is transportation like? We are plugged into the communities we do business in and have the knowledge to provide the savvy buyer with the information they need to entice them about your community.
Marketing Savvy
The greater the exposure of your house the greater the chances you will sell it for the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time. As of December 31st, 2011 there were 2.2 billion people worldwide using the internet. As a matter of fact, 90% of potential buyers use the internet to find their new home. Therefore, it is critical the agent you choose uses extensive internet marketing tools to expose your property to the broadest possible audience.
We provide every client with a detailed business plan that includes a state of the art marketing plan to achieve maximum exposure to just the right audience. The more potential buyers who view your home the better the chances of generating interest from multiple buyers. We leave no stone unturned to accomplish this.
