The Golden Rule Of Selling - Pick The Right Agent!
Selling a home can be a daunting task.
Picking a quality agent is just the same as picking a quality builder, painter or carpenter - you'll realize the difference at the end.
In many cases, people pick a real estate agent for the wrong reason - because they like the individual or because they are a family friend. If you planned on doing a $100,000 renovation to your home would you hire the individual because you liked them? Do you believe all builders are the same? Just because they use the same tools does not mean they use them equally well.
And so it is with real estate agents. Except it's not a $100,000 renovation. Your home is worth a LOT more. The wrong agent can either undersell your home losing you money, can complicate the process or worse still not sell your home. Not selling your home means re-listing with another agent making it very difficult to get the best price in a market that already "knows" you home.

Experience:
An experienced Realtor knows what problems are likely to arise in the future. They plan for them, they identify them early on and they have developed tricks and techniques to resolve problems to keep things on track. They are skilled negotiators because they have "been there". Would you hire a first time builder or one with 10 years experience? Even if you liked them or they were a family friend? There is too much at stake. Click here to review our level of experience.
References:
Always get references. Top real estate agents can provide a list of references. Ask for a least 10. In that way you can pick a few to call and ask about their experience. Click here for our list of references.
