Using a real estate agent

Hiring an experienced and well-organized real estate agent can help you sell your property very easily. There are certain things which you can preferably do in order to pull back the curtain and accurately check a real estate agent’s performance and potential success in selling your house within a stipulated period. Some Discount Real Estate Brokers can even save you money on your real estate commission. So, if you are thinking of buying a home or planning to sell your house, have a look at the following checklist to hire a good real estate agent who can sell your property quickly and at the best rate as per your demand.

  1. Talking with the recent clients– It is wise to ask the shortlisted real estate agents to provide the list of the clients along with their contact information whom they have served in the past year. You can call up these past clients and check the performance of the concerned real estate agent. This kind of first hand reference check may fetch you the real picture.
  2. Looking up the licensing– You should ideally inquire whether the concerned real estate agent is licensed to do the business. The state’s regulatory board can be checked in order to find out details of their real estate license.  and also if there were any disciplinary actions or complaints against the concerned real estate agent. Real Estate Agents must go through extensive training.  Many take online real estate courses, while some actually sit through in person classes.
  3. Picking up the best– You may inquire if the concerned real estate agent has recently received any award or token of appreciation for his work in the recent past. Checking on this can be really helpful in picking up the best real estate agent.
  4. Selecting the agent with the right credentials– You may wisely check on the actual credentials of the real estate agent. There are certain designations which the real estate agents may use such as CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) which means that the concerned individual has completed the additional training in handling the residential real estate. ABR (Accredited Buyer’s Representative) is one who has completed the additional education in representing the buyers in a particular transaction.
  5. Researching on how long the agent is in the business– You can easily find out the detail regarding the time period that the real estate agent has been selling the real estate from the respective State licensing authority.
  6. Look for specialty in an area.  For instance, if you are looking to buy in Lakeview New Orleans, find an agent that has worked that area for a long time and is ultra familiar with it.
