10 QUESTIONS TO ASK EVERY AGENT BEFORE YOU SIGN ANYTHING!
- How long have you been selling residential real estate?
- How many transactions have you been involved in directly in that time? In the last year?
(Experience is the best teacher and the more transaction experience the better.)
- What is your procedure for assisting a buyer from beginning to closing.
(A system designed to serve you as you need and require it. Is a specialist available for
each level of the sale?)
- What is your experience with financing alternatives, and what might they be in my situation?
- How do you determine my qualifications and when? (You would be shocked at how rare it is
for an agent to complete your qualifications right away, but how important it is to already have
it done when you decide on a home.)
- What is your procedure for providing me with information about homes for sale that meet my
needs? (More often than not, this is just a do it when there is time situation. Our program
offers you a consistent, automatic, and dependable resource of information.)
- What is your negotiating philosophy, and how do you apply it to me?
(We work for you and make sure you get the best value possible. Research and investigation
on our part, hard negotiation, and financing put you in the best possible position. We work
for you and we work to get you the best deal!!)
- How do you find the best value for me? How do you make sure it is a good value?
(HOME WORK! We don't cut any corners. We make sure you know the true value, supported by
hard facts, not just that we think it is a good deal.)
- How do you protect me from the extensive costs that lenders, title companies, inspectors
and others charge a home purchaser?
- Can you sell us a new, resale or foreclosed home? (Most agents will answer affirmatively,
but follow up with questions about specific builders and areas. Find out the detailed knowledge
that the agent has of homes that will fit you.)
There are many more questions to ask, this is just a sampling. Hope it helps.
