Real Estate Agent Questions

 

 

Questions to Ask Before You Hire a Real Estate Agent

It is definitely a good idea to sit down with a real estate agent and ask them a few questions before you hire them.

The answer to this question will help make sure that your agent fully understands your goals and has a detailed plan for helping you to achieve these goals.

3. What is your average listing price versus sales price ratio?

If you are selling your home you will want an agent who will negotiate a sales price as close to your listing price as possible. If you are looking to purchase a home, then you should find an agent with a high ratio of negotiating a sales price below the asking listing price. Agents with better sales to listing ratios will help you to save money.

4. Could you provide me with references?

A successful real estate agent should have a list of happy customers that they will want to share with you. You should get a minimum of 3 references before you hire an agent.

5. Do you provide me with all the documents required by this process to review? Also, what would an agreement between you and me look like?

A decent agent will have all agreements and documents available for you to review before you sign any of them. The agent should also take the time to review all documents with you and answer any of your questions.

Sample from "Real Estate Agent Hiring Guide":

Do you need to hire a real estate agent?

The answer to this question depends largely on your situation. If you are looking to purchase a home, it is very possible that can do so without hiring a real estate agent. There are tons of resources available for people looking to purchase real estate. Often, for a buyer, the only job for a real estate agent is to unlock the doors to allow you to look inside.

It is completely possible for you to perform research, negotiate prices and buy a house without an agent – but for most people this is not recommended. Real estate agents often help in the closing and escrow process. You can also use a property attorney for those procedures as well. The answer to whether or not you need to hire a real estate agent gets trickier if you are looking to sell your home. It is possible to sell your home by yourself using local marketing, the internet and advertising. But using a real estate agent all that work is done for you.

In short, choosing whether or not to use a real estate agent is like anything else. You can choose to do it yourself but most of the time it just makes sense to use a professional.

With all that being said, DO NOT decide whether or not to use a real estate agent based on a few short paragraphs. Read through this entire report to get a clear picture of the benefits of both using and not using a real estate agent. Once you’re done you’ll have the information needed to make the right decision for your situation.
