Buying or selling a home can be a pain. Especially when you don’t know how to do that. That pain is truly dwarfed in comparison to collecting rent from rental property. It can be tedious and demand so much time from you. That’s why we have real estate agents. A Real Estate agent can help you find a new home, find a buyer for your home as well as collect rent and manage your property. Before you choose an agent to work for you ask the the following
- How long have you been in this business? This is very important especially if you’re looking for a letting agent. You need someone who has experience dealing with a wide variety of personalities and rent collections skills.
- How many homes/ properties have you sold? You may want instant results so it is very important to go with an agent who understands the right market for your home/property and has the proof to back up their success.
- On average how long will it take to find a home/sell? If you’re looking to move it is important that both you and your agent have a schedule for events. Especially if you have to move quickly.
- What Are the drawbacks of my home? If you’re selling your home, you’ll need to get a full analysis of what’s good or bad about your home. Your real estate agent can help you know that so you may make the steps ready to make it better.
- What are your fees? Most agents are paid on commission basis but that may differ according to agency,the type of property and what services you’re contacting them for. It is best to get aligned with the real estate agent to find out how much you should pay them as dues even before you start the process.
