The home sellers took my recommendations on preparing the house to sell and it looked so cute it sold quickly. Now we are working on building a new home. Congratulations to Lacreshia and Ben! Thanks for choosing me as your REALTOR.

"Robin Scott, Realtor was so easy to work with for the purchase of our home...so, when it was time to move up into a home that fit our growing family, she was definitely the one to call. Our purchase had gone so smoothly that when we thought about selling and finding another home we were a bit nervous that it might not go as well. It turned out to be just as smooth! Robin kept us in the loop and we always felt she was guiding us in the right direction. She helped us pick the best time to list, select from a number of offers and coordinate the efforts of buying and selling concurrently. We hope to be in our next home for a good many years, but we will definitely recommend her services to our friends and family!" - Lacreshia

How to Choose a REALTOR®

Make sure you choose a REALTOR® who will provide quality service and meet your unique needs. Here are 12 questions to ask.

1. How long have you been in residential real estate sales? Is it your full-time job? While experience is no guarantee of skill, real estate — like many other professions — is mostly learned on the job. http://www.realtor.com/bio/robinscott

2. What designations do you hold?
Designations such as SRS (Seller's Representative Specialist) and CRS® (Certified Residential Specialist), which require that agents take additional, specialized real estate training, are held only by about one-quarter of real estate practitioners.

3. How many homes did you and your real estate brokerage sell last year? By asking this question, you’ll get a good idea of how much experience the practitioner has.

4. How many days did it take you to sell the average home? How did that compare to the overall market?  The REALTOR® you interview should have these facts on hand, and be able to present market statistics from the local MLS to provide a comparison.

5. How close to the initial asking prices of the homes you sold were the final sale prices? This is one indication of how skilled the REALTOR® is at pricing homes and marketing to suitable buyers. Of course, other factors also may be at play, including an exceptionally hot or cool real estate market.

6. What types of specific marketing systems and approaches will you use to sell my home?
You don’t want someone who’s going to put a For Sale sign in the yard and hope for the best. Look for someone who has aggressive and innovative approaches, and knows how to market your property competitively on the Internet. Buyers today want information fast and 90% shop on the online, so it’s important that your REALTOR® advertises on the Internet.

7. Will you represent me exclusively, or will you represent both the buyer and the seller in the transaction? While it’s usually legal to represent both parties in a transaction, it’s important to understand where the practitioner’s obligations lie. Your REALTOR® should explain his or her agency relationship to you and describe the rights of each party. 

8. Can you recommend service providers who can help me obtain a mortgage, make home repairs, and help with other things I need done? Because REALTORS® are immersed in the industry, they’re wonderful resources as you seek lenders, home improvement companies, and other home service providers. Practitioners should generally recommend more than one provider and let you know if they have any special relationship with or receive compensation from any of the providers.

9. What type of support and supervision does your brokerage office provide to you?
Having resources such as in-house support staff, access to a real estate attorney, and assistance with technology can help an agent sell your home.

10. What’s your business philosophy? While there’s no right answer to this question, the response will help you assess what’s important to the agent and determine how closely the agent’s goals and business emphasis mesh with your own.

11. How will you keep me informed about the progress of my transaction?
How frequently? Again, this is not a question with a correct answer, but how you judge the response will reflect your own desires. Do you want updates twice a week or do you prefer not to be bothered unless there’s a hot prospect? Do you prefer phone, e-mail, or a personal visit? 

12. Could you please give me the names and phone numbers of your three most recent clients?
Ask recent clients if they would work with this REALTOR® again. Find out whether they were pleased with the communication style, follow-up, and work ethic of the REALTOR®.
