10 Questions to Ask When Choosing Your REALTOR®
This list is provided to you so that you can choose a REALTOR® who will provide top-notch service and meet your unique needs.
1. How long have you been in residential real estate sales? While experience is no guarantee of skill, real estate — like many other professions — is mostly learned on the job. At minimum, it’s best to choose an agent that has at least 3 years of experience in the Kansas City market.
2. Is it your full-time job? Believe it or not, of the over 10,000 licensed agents in the greater Kansas City area, less than 25% of them are considered full time agents. This is critical information you should know, considering you’re about to sell one of your largest financial assets.
3. How many homes did you sell last year? By asking this question, you’ll get a good idea of how much experience the practitioner has. As a minimum requirement, choose a real estate agent that sold more than 10 homes last year.
4. Statistics show that most home buyers begin their new home search online. What will you do to market my home online? If 95% of the buyers begin their home search online, wouldn’t it make sense to choose an agent that understands how to get your home the maximum online exposure it deserves?
