CHAPTER 10 Finding a great real estate agent There’s a saying that if you want something to be done right, you have to do it yourself. While in some cases that might be true, there are others for which you need the help of a professional. A great real estate agent who can market and sell your home is a perfect example. Their commission rate might seem daunting at first, but a great agent will streamline the process and obtain you the best possible deal on the market. Also, they will GET YOUR HOUSE SOLD. Hire a great agent, and get the deal closed. The minor cost involved with a professional real estate agent is more than worth it. We’ve discussed whether your current or past Realtor® is or was right for you, and meeting your needs. We’ve talked about what to look for in hiring a new real estate agent to help you sell your home faster and at a price that meets or exceeds your expectations. But how do you go about actually finding and hiring one?
FINDING A REAL ESTATE AGENT: DO YOUR RESEARCH
As mentioned, don’t go with someone who’s promising high quotes while offering low commission rates. Further, just because your best friend’s parents are real estate agents, or a friend of friend that just got started in real estate, doesn’t mean they’re the best choice for you.
