#8. YOUR AGENT
A real estate sales professional helps you sell your house without your involvement. In fact, you pay them because they operate only for your best interest. Some people choose to forgo hiring a real estate agent altogether to “save” money, when, in reality, it costs them in the long run. The agent is, first, an expert professional marketer who knows and uses marketing tips and tricks. A good agent will do many things, including: • Hire a photographer to get some professional pictures of your estate. • Look for potential buyers and keep them engaged. • Network with many brokers and agents to increase the number of potential buyers. • Use the web and other tools to create a virtual tour for the purchasers. • Provide answers to buyers’ questions immediately and manage the visits of your house. The agent will also become an expert on your property and ask you questions to know the best features of your home and to increase the probability of selling at a higher price. Further, the agent is able to understand the character/nature of potential buyers only after a few phrases, and then they can use the best way to communicate with them. This is a key point, because too often, if you use the wrong words, you lose the potential buyer. Communication is very important. 9
