Lots of posts talking about red flags to steer clear of when choosing an agent to sell your home (no reviews, unfamiliar with the neighborhood, pushy, new to town, hard to reach, etc.)
But what about the green flags?
What are the buzzwords or phrases to listen for that indicate the agent you’re talking with could be “the one?”
Based on what I've learned over the years, the following are signs and phrases that indicate you've got a stellar agent on your hands:
1) Clear pricing strategy: An experienced agent will explain in detail their pricing strategy AND back it up with data. No vague estimates, just transparency.
2) Brokerage value: A great agent is proud of their brokerage. They'll highlight how their team's network and resources will boost your selling potential. It's not just about them; it's about the powerhouse behind them.
3) Tangible takeaways: A thumbs-up agent will provide you with a hard copy of practical info to mull over, like notes on nearby listings or personalized tips for getting your home ready for the market. Sure, it's a small gesture. But it's a sign they’ve listened to your concerns, know your neighborhood, and are invested in your success.
Now that you know better, you can do better! Go on and bookmark this post for later or tag a friend who’s starting their real estate journey. And, of course, if you have questions, drop a comment or DM, and I’ll get in touch.
