CHAPTER 5 Choosing the Right Agent ht Agent
Selling a residential property involves more than 100 people with different skills and expertise who participate in the transaction from start to finish. Whether it is for a home inspection or a title search, it takes more than 20 steps to finalize the sale of your home. A real estate professional who is knowledgeable in all phases of real estate can make the process much easier. You do not need real estate expertise if you engage a real estate professional who already has it. Choosing the best real estate agent for you can be problematic. Recommendations from friends and relatives and references are valuable. A friend might recommend an agent because that agent was able to sell the house at 20% more than hoped for (but this expecation could be wrong for you when one is unfamiliar with your neighborhood). Gather all the bits of advice from people who have dealt with one real estate agent or another, but do the legwork yourself. Understand that choosing the best agent can make the difference
