Choosing the right selling agent is pivotal, especially on your initial attempt. Empowering yourself with the right questions ensures an informed decision, paving the path for a successful outcome! To ensure you partner with an industry-accredited, fully licensed, and seasoned selling agent, consider these key questions:
- How long have you been buying, selling or investing in real estate on the Sunshine Coast?
- What is your professional background and expertise?
- Do you have your own residential or commercial property portfolio, local or interstate?
- Are you fully licensed and accredited and to which industry asscociations?
- What types of clients and price ranges do you typically work with?
- Can you provide references or connect me with your past clients? How many active clients are you currently assisting?
- Do you listen to my concerns and show genuine interest in my future goals?
- Can I trust you to prioritise my interest exclusively?
- Does your communication style align with mine and how?
- Will I be working directly with you or someone else in your office?
- What is your plan for assisting me throughout the selling process?
- How well-connected are you with other professionals and service providers?
- Will you personally handle and or be in attendance for all aspects of the sale such as property inspections, negotiations, contract preparation or overseeing, building and pest appointments, pre-settlement inspection, settlement/handover day, etc?
- How do you make me feel when interacting with you?
- Can I rely on you to understand my goals and aspirations in regard to my sale?
- Do you offer valuable suggestions for enhancing the property’s value before hits the market? Do you exclusively work full-time and weekends as my selling agent?
