Tips On An East Brunswick Realtor

By Enid Hinton


The success of any house sale will usually depend on the kind of help you had when listing this property. It therefore is important to make sure that you have hired a good East Brunswick realtor. This real estate agent will have the duty of ensuring that he sources for buyers and also markets the house in order to attract more offers.

Begin by shortlisting a minimum of three real estate agents. You will need to schedule interviews with all the three professionals from which you can gain more information about them. The first question should always be on the amount of money he believes he can fetch for your house.

Marketing is an important part of selling any house. As such, you will need to know how this professional intends to carry out the marketing. A good realtor should also be a good marketing agent who is in a position to look beyond the traditional marketing methods that are in use.

Technology has greatly impacted the way business is conducted, in a positive way. Have an agent explain how they have been able to use technology to make sure that they reach a wider audience. You could also look at the website tours presented in their websites.

It always helps to learn about a deal that an agent closed that may have ended up surprising him. Understand what was so different about this deal or what made it stand out from the rest. You can learn a lot about each agent from this information.

It is important to look at the area that each agent has specialized in. If you are selling a condo, you will want to work with someone who has sold condos before. You do not want to work with someone whose specialty is selling starter homes.

Agents are known to handle more than one or two houses at any one time. Clients who would like personal attention from the agent should establish how many houses this agent and his assistant are handling at the moment. This information will provide you with answers on whether you will receive personal attention from the real estate agent.

During the interview, be sure to inquire on the expectations that this agent may have of you. Agents will often have expectations of their clients and will often be in the form of things they would like them to perform. This can be painting the house, emptying the garage or even taking the pets away.

It is important for an agent to be able to deal with all kinds of lenders. As you interview each agent, seek to learn of the advice he would provide you were you to be made an offer by a buyer who is using an FHA loan. It will be important to only work with a real estate agent who is able to work with all lenders.

Do not forget to ask about the fees you will have to pay. Agents are paid on a commission basis after a house has been sold. Seek to know how much his commission will be and whether this commission can be negotiated to reflect a percentage that is friendlier to you.
