SINCE YOUR HOME EXPIRED FROM THE MLS, YOU CAN EXPECT TO BE BARRAGED WITH REAL ESTATE AGENTS CALLING AND MAILING...
FIRST THINGS FIRST -
Don't be in a huge rush to re-list... that can mean making the same mistake again. Taking a day or two to prepare can save you months in market time!! YOU WILL get a barrage of calls... remember to "be polite", as any one of these agents could have a buyer for your home even if you don't list with them! ALSO, any agent who is service oriented will send a sampling of information to you right away. Your first step to getting the type of agent you really want is to look through the mailings, take the calls, and decide who you would like to investigate further. This will narrow it down a lot.
|
YOUR SECOND STEP...
is to ask those agents who made it past step one to send you a package detailing their marketing campaign and resume'. Those who don't have a package to send you right away need not apply for your business. You can then peruse the information to determine who to actually interview. (If you are in a hurry to get your home back on the market, tell them to have their package delivered within 24 hours. This should not be too hard if they provide the level of service you deserve!) NOW... you just call and set interviews with the agents who made it past steps 1 and 2.
|
YOUR THIRD STEP...
Call and set interviews with 3 agents who you choose based on the package of information and your comfort with their phone conversation. (You can interview more, but it becomes a little confusing if you do. Try interviewing 3 and if you are not comfortable with one, set more interviews.)
BY THE WAY, IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO INTERVIEW ANYONE YET, at least complete steps one and two. Also, EVERY agent you interview will provide a market analysis, but if you are not interviewing anyone and just want to know what an unbiased, objective market value of your home would be, click below... no hassle, no obligation, you don't even have to talk to an agent!
|
YOUR LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT STEP...
BE PREPARED for your interviews. Nearly ALL agents depend on the SAME MARKETING METHODS, and have access to the same tools. Be sure to include the line of questioning that gives you the information you need to make the best decision for YOU! Before you interview anyone, you shuld read "The most critical questions to ask any real estate agent before listing"
