Back

1. What methods should be used to accurately pinpoint the value of your home? In this fast selling your home

paced market, how will you be certain you are getting top dollar? How often are low appraisals encountered?

2. What repair issues might you face as a result of home or termite and moisture inspections performed AFTER you’ve already negotiated price and terms?

3. Will staging my home make a significant difference in either marketing time or the net result of an offer to purchase?

4. Are there any fees that will be charged above and beyond the brokerage fee? If so, what will they be used for? What’s included in the brokerage fee?

5. Specifically, how will your home be marketed, and how will results be measured? What types of marketing materials will be deployed (ask for samples)? Is there a written marketing plan?

6. Will you have exclusive representation, or is it possible that your agent could be a dual agent, juggling the buyer’s interests as well as yours?

7. If legal issues are encountered during the process, is there an attorney available through the brokerage, or will you be on your own?

8. How are prospect inquiries from signs and ad calls handled? What about internet leads?

9. How will incoming offers on your property be analyzed to ensure that your bottom line is best protected, and that the prospective buyer is qualified to purchase?

10. Who helps you with moving details such as reliable contractor referrals?

11. What kind of communication should you expect of your agent throughout the process?
