HIRE A TRUSTED REALTOR
Finding the right real estate agent for the job is a tough but necessary task. Selling your home during a time
when everything seems uncertain adds a layer of complexity that both a seller and realtor have never experienced
before. Reach out to your network of friends and family for referrals, search sites like realtor.com, or scan
neighboring marketed homes for names of agents in your area. Do your research, read online reviews of the
agents, and ask for recent client references. Lastly, interview your top three agents to find the one that best suits
your needs.
Suggested interview questions include:
• How long have you been a realtor, and what type of experience do you have?
• What are the challenges of selling in this environment, and what do you do to address them?
• How familiar are you with this community?
• What's your fee?
• How would you price my home in the current environment?
• How long do you expect my house to remain on the market?
• What's your average ratio between the listing price and actual selling price?
• How do you plan to market my home?
• Will you or someone on your team be available to take my calls?
