Sellers, it is a good idea to interview potential real estate agents

If you will be using an agent to sell your property it's a good idea to interview several agents before you sign a listing agreement. Here are a few things you should be asking:
  • Ask for their advice, what would they highlight about your home? What would they change before it goes on the market?
  • Ask to see an activity list of the buyers and sellers they've represented, the areas of town and the price ranges. You do not want private details, but you want to see if they've worked in your neighborhood, in your price range and if they have a track record of successful sales.
  • Ask how old the comparable sales "comps" that they are showing you? A few years ago, you could study comps that were 6 months old. Now, because many markets are changing, you want neighborhood comps that are no more than two to three months old.
  • And, find out how long each has been a professional. Experience counts.
