Thursday, November 24, 2016
The Martels have a vast amount of resources and information that we are more than happy to share with you to try and make your home buying, or selling process easier. One of these free resources is the 10 Questions to Ask When Interviewing a Real Estate Representative report that we provide for free on our website.
If you're not sure that this report is for you, check out this excerpt below and see if you want to learn more.
- What makes you different? Why should I list my home with you?
It's a much tougher real estate market than it was a decade ago. What unique marketing plans and programs does this agent have in place to make sure that your home stands out favourably versus other competing homes? What things does this agent offer you that others don't to help you sell your home in the least amount of time with the least amount of hassle and for the most amount of money?
- What is your company's track record and reputation in the market place?
You may be surprised to know that many agents sell fewer than 10 homes a year. This volume makes it difficult for them to do full impact marketing on your home, because they can't raise the money it takes to afford the advertising and special programs to give your home a high profile.
- What are your marketing plans for my home?
How much money does this agent spend in advertising the homes s/he lists versus the other agents you are interviewing? In what media (newspaper, magazine, TV etc.) does this agent advertise? What does s/he know about the effectiveness of one medium over the other?
The answers to these questions and others will give you a great amount of insight into what a particular agent can do for you as you try to sell or buy your home. If you would like to see the rest of the questions, plus additional information and explanations about the questions I've just provided to you, you can request the report here. You can also find many other reports related to buying and selling on our website.
