Here are some vital topics you want to initiate a conversation on:

1. Training and Background

Emphasize on considering an agent who’s licensed by your state. The agent has met minimum levels of education, training, as well as testing. Ask whether the agent is a member of a respected trade association such as the National Association of Realtors (NAR), or has credentials, such as “CRS” (Certified Residential Specialist).

2. Experience

Consider a real estate agent who’s backed by at least three years’ experience selling residential properties. The person must have a proven track record selling a home like yours, which should be in terms of geographic area as well as type of property.

3. References

Ask the real estate agent to provide you with at least three names of current or previous clients who sold their homes last year. Once you get references, do call these people and ask how they liked working with the agent you’re planning to hire. If there were any problems when working with the agent. Ask all relevant questions to make your decision pertaining to hiring the realtor.

No doubt about the fact that selling a home is more like an overwhelming affair. As a matter of fact, many people out there pursue becoming a full-time real estate agent. Meet the real estate agent dealing with East Bay Homes for Sale in person and take at least one hour so you can show your home to the agent as well as discuss prices and issues (if any) in the sale.
