Choosing Your Realtor

Selling your home can either be highly rewarding or very frustrating. It depends on the sales representative you choose and your reasons for selling.

Start With Yourself

Why are you selling? Are you serious about selling? Do you have a predetermined price in mind? If you do, what knowledge is that price based on? Remember, emotions inflate prices which can lead to unrealistic expectations, frustrations, anxiety and worse, a property that doesn't sell.

Interviews are a Two WayStreet

Top performing representatives are as interested in interviewing you as you are them. They value your time. Why? Because selling your home represents a huge investment in time, energy and expense. A top performing RE/MAX Twin City sales representative not only creates and places motivating ads at no cost to you, they also use their extensive networking capabilities to find you qualified prospective buyers, even though they don't earn a cent until your deal closes. If you were a top sales representative, who would have your serious commitment? Obviously, the serious vendor.

What is Your Homes' True Value?

The right listing price is determined through market research, intelligent strategy and experience. Some less diligent representatives price your property too high in hopes of securing a contract only to lower it after it has become market stale and you are frustrated. Or worse, your property is  ¨low-balled¨ in hopes of a quick sale. Guess whose pocket this comes out of? Top selling  representatives price your property to attract serious buyers. Your Extreme Home Team  provides a computerized market analysis of your home, along with a marketing and advertising strategy customized to meet your needs.

Trust Your Instinct

What's your first impression?
Does the representative give you a sense of confidence?
Does the representative understand and listen to your needs?
Does the representative know your area?
Does your representative know the market?

The Sales Representative Presentation

Is the representative more interested in getting your listing than in addressing your needs? A top performer will be interested in knowing why you want to sell. That way, they can tailor their many value-added services to meet your needs.

Networking is One of the Keys

Pay close attention to the representative's networking capabilities. The more day-to-day working relationships the representative has with other top representatives, the faster interested buyers will know about your property.

To be the Best, Work with the Best

Many top representatives gravitate to realtors that have exceptional managers. This combination creates a highly charged winning atmosphere. Ask the representative about the real estate company they represent. What share of the market do they have? A high volume means they have got to be doing something right.
