5 Questions You Absolutely Must Ask An Agent Before You List Your Home:1. What is your market time? The average agent in Spokane took 99 days* to sell a home in the challenging market of 2010. Iris’ took 13 days*. This means more than 2 3/4 fewer payments and an additional $2,902.00 in your pocket at closing based on a typical $200,000 home. Also, remember, the sooner you receive an offer the less likely a purchaser will “barter” for a lower price.2. What is your list price to sales ratio? The average agent in Spokane obtained 96.18%* of list price in 2010. Iris obtained 98.74%*—it may not seem like much difference but it means $5,120.00 more in your pocket at closing on a $200.000 home. Add the $2,902. above to the $5,120. here and you are talking about over $8,000—now that matters!3. How many homes did you have that failed to sell (expired listings) ? In the 2010 market 67.37%* of the homes listed did not sell! Stated another way less than 1 in 3 homes actually sold. Iris sold 100%* of her residential home listings. Experience less stress knowing she gets the job done.4. How many years have you been in the business? Think about it. Does it make sense to trust an inexperienced agent who is learning, with your most valuable asset? Iris has been selling real estate since 1991 and has sold over $100,000,000. worth of real estate. She has the knowledge and experience to negotiate and write a contract with your best interests in mind.5. How many transactions did you complete last year? Look for a number somewhere between 25 and 40. Too many transactions may mean you are dealing with an individual or team leader more interested in a large volume of sales, instead of your needs or bottom line.
