How to Pick a Real Estate Agent – 7 Questions to Ask Your Real Estate Agent

Article Category: Real Estate

Author Name: Charles A. Kush III

Buying or selling real estate is probably the most significant transaction you'll ever make in your life. That's why it's important to choose the best realtor to help you achieve this goal. But before you hire the services of a real estate agent, there are several important things to take into consideration.

Lots of people have the perception that all real estate agents are the same. Some sign with the first one that comes along. Sadly, they realize later on that they should have been more selective before signing an agreement. To guide you in choosing the best realtor for your needs, below are seven questions to ask your potential real estate agent.

1) What is your experience in real estate?

The first thing you need to ask a real estate agent is how long they've been in the real estate business. It doesn't mean that you can not enlist the services of newly-licensed real estate agents. Just keep in mind that those who have years of experience under their belts are probably more knowledgeable on what to do, from listing to closing. Aside from the number of years in the business, ask them what segment of real estate they focus on - residential, commercial, luxury, etc. Find out if he/she is primarily a listing agent or a buyer's agent (or both). Familiarity with the market is also essential, so ask what geographic areas the agent usually covers. You can even dig deeper by asking if the agent has received any awards for outstanding performance.

2) How many and what types of properties have you listed and sold in the past year?

It's one of the most important questions you should ask a real estate agent. The number of properties he or she has listed and sold in the past year is a valuable indicator how good a real estate professional is in getting the job done. Take note that this question consists of two parts: properties listed and properties sold. Agents may demonstrate their ability to list homes; however, the more important thing is the sales part - the ability to close deals. If they have many properties listed and sold in the past year, it shows that whatever strategy the agent is using, it's certainly working.

3) What was the average sales price for the properties you've sold over the last year?

Asking this will give you an idea in what kind of market the agent specializes. Find out if the real estate professional has experience selling properties in the price range you're listing at. If a majority of properties sold falls on the low-end market segment, it might take longer for the agent to sell if yours is a higher-end home. Although agents can sell any property regardless of price range, it's likely that they will have better success in the market and price segments in which they have the most experience.

4) What is your average sale to list price ratio?

The sale to list price ratio (sometimes called the sale-to-list or list-to-sale ratio) is the final sales price divided by the listing price, expressed as a percentage. If it is 100%, it means the sales price was equal to the list price. You can view this ratio in two ways. A skilled listing agent can negotiate sales prices that are equal or close to the list price, and sometimes even greater in a very competitive market. So ideally, listing agents should have sale to list price ratios closer to 100%. On the other side of the coin, a good buyer's agent can often negotiate a sales price that is lower than the list price. Therefore, buyer's agent ratios ideally should be lower than 99%.

5) What marketing strategies will you use?

Deciding on what strategies to use can spell the difference between success and failure. A poor marketing strategy will diminish the chances for success. Do your own due diligence by asking how the agent will sell your property. There are lots of options - staging, open houses, joint marketing, print advertising, and of course, online marketing. Whatever approaches are used, they should be designed to bring in the highest number of qualified potential buyers. Higher end properties can also often benefit from professional staging. In any case, your agent should advise you on how to best prepare the property to make it the most attractive to potential buyers.

6) Can you give me some references?

Reputation is important in this line of business. Whether you're buying or selling a property, you should ask for references (past clients). If possible, call a few and ask them about their experiences with the agent. Were they pleased with the service provided? Also ask if they are in any way related to the agent. A list of references made up of friends or relatives generally won't provide an objective assessment of the agent's qualifications.

7) Do you offer any type of guarantee, and will you let me out of my contract early if I am not satisfied with your service?

You can't say with certainty how things will go, even if you did your due diligence. For this reason, you should ensure that you're prepared for any eventuality. If you sign a contract and later find that you're not satisfied with the service, will the agent allow you to cancel the agreement? If things don't work out the way they're supposed to, you should have the freedom to choose another agent who can deliver better results.
