What should you look for when shopping for a real estate agent?
Find a Realtor you can trust. Really trust. The kind you can hand a blank
check to and not worry about it. If an agent gives you kitchen gadgets, frisbees, fast
talk and flashy promises, keep looking. If they say they’ll do something
and don’t, keep looking. If they promise to sell your home for a
unseemingly high price, with no supporting sales data, keep looking. That’s
called “buying a listing”. Ask them about their track record,
how much sales volume they personally sell (not their company), and what
type of marketing plan they have in mind for you. They should hand you
one in writing. If they don’t have one, chances are they’ll
have a haphazard approach to selling your property. Ask your potential
agent what their average market time is and average sales-to-list price
ratios. If they don’t know their own statistics, keep looking. Ask
how long they’ve been in Vail, how long they’ve sold real estate.
Ask what professional designations they have and ask for their personal
resumé. If they hype their company too much, keep on moving. Chances
are they don’t have that much to hype about themselves. Remember,
you are working with a person, not a company. Keep looking until you find
someone who seems solid and grounded, and gives you the honest truth.
Someone who doesn’t need to do a song and dance to win your business.
An agent who keeps appointments. Whose word is like gold. Who can really
listen to you and keep your confidence. Someone who can document what
they say and can give you statistics on their business or the market in
general. Someone like Jo Ellen Nash and her team. They know what they’re
doing. Just ask their clients. There’s a reason they’ve been
singled out as one of the top real estate teams in North America time
and time again!
