1. Where do you advertise?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Does your agent market nationally and internationally? If so, on what platforms? It’s important to know that your agent is marketing your property to a wide range of potential clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Do you think our price reflects the current market?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

3. Can I cancel the listing agreement?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Check the contract you are signing before writing on the dotted line. Some agents may ask for exclusivity for a certain amount of time and others will have a free flowing contract where you can cancel the agreement at any time. Don’t feel pressured and make sure the terms work for you<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Will I be working with you directly or is there a team involved?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you book a listing appointment you may potentially be meeting just one member of the team working to sell your property. Get an idea of who you are working with and what their values are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. How do real estate agent fees work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The services included with each agency will differ wildly. Do they provide photos, video, virtual tours etc? Is this included in their fees? Don’t be afraid to enquire as to when payment will be and how the process works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. What can I do to prepare my house for viewings?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your agent will more than likely have a preferred way in which they would like your property to be presented to show it off at its best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. What happens after we receive an offer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
