There are bad agents at some of the large brokers, bangkok condos for sale thailand (click through the next post) and great agents who work in one-person shops. Should Your Agent Be One? Continue to the next page to find out how to evaluate agents once you’ve done some preliminary research. Your focus should be on their experience and credentials, not on the size of their agency. All Realtors are real estate agents, but not all licensed real estate agents are Realtors. What is a Realtor? Much to the chagrin of real estate agents who belong to the National Association of Realtors, many people don’t know that a Realtor and a real estate agent are different.

Maybe they sold or bought a house recently, and had a good experience with a certain agent. Look at the “for sale” signs in your neighborhood, or attend open houses. You might also ask real estate lawyers, mortgage lenders and home inspectors. They will often have certain agents whose work they respect, and others they would turn you away from. It’s a good idea to look for an agent who specializes in properties similar to yours.

Trying to sell a house can be a huge undertaking. Selling a house quickly and getting the best price takes marketing and sales know-how. Especially in a slow real estate market, you can’t simply put a “for sale” sign in the front yard and expect eager buyers to come knocking down your door with offers. A listing agent can bring that expertise to the table and help you get the best possible price for your house, whether it’s a five bedroom behemoth or a tiny bungalow. Listing agents are real estate agents who specialize in selling houses.

How do you evaluate a listing agent? Ask the agent about what marketing strategy they’d use for your house. If they can’t do that, or they attempt to “buy a listing” by promising a selling price that isn’t backed by true comps, move on. An agent should be able to present you with comparable sales (comps) of homes in your area. Good signs include the agent having proof that they’ve held listings that have sold quickly at final sale prices that meet or exceed the listing price.
