Today, we're going to cover the 4th "p" of marketing: the professional. This is the person you hire to help sell or buy a home, so there needs to be a good deal of trust between the two of you. The best thing you can do to ensure you hire the right person is conduct an interview. Here are some of the questions you should have answered:
  • Find out how they operate: Do they have a team or are they a stand alone agent? Will they be available to meet regularly? Do they have an assistant? Assistants are usually quite helpful to clients - they can get you the answers quickly if the agent happens to be busy. 
  • Find out how they communicate: Will they give you feedback? Will they stay in touch with you to keep you updated on developments during the buying or selling process? We personally like to keep in touch with our clients regularly, contacting them at least once a week.
  • Find out how available they are: Will they be present at every showing? How will alarms and keys be handled during the selling process?
Another thing you might want to ask is, what can I do if I'm not satisfied with your services? This may be a more difficult thing to ask, as many agents can be evasive. We, on the other hand, offer an easy exit listing guarantee. If, for whatever reason, you are not satisfied with my services at any point in the process, you can fire us no questions asked. We want to make sure you get the best possible real estate experience. 

So when thinking about hiring a real estate professional, give us a call. We think you'll be happy with the interview.
