Plenty of thought , consideration and research have to go into the choice of a property broker as he is the one individual who will be with you through the swings and roundabouts of hunting for your ideal home. Choosing the right agent means expert help in choosing the best property, getting the hottest deal in the choicest neighborhood and also a smooth exchange. Here are a few questions that you have to ask your broker in the interview, only after which will you hire him as your agent.
Getting an experienced professional is the sole way by which it is easy to get all the benefits of a real estate agent. So the first question that you need to ask him is the years of expertise he has in this field. And should you be looking for homes or property in a specific town or city, then ask the agent for his experience in this area. The second query has to be about the amount of sales that he has made in the year before, especially as a buyer's agent. This will give you an idea of his fulfillment in the market but don't forget not to base your call on just this factor. Also find out from the broker about the time taken between the original listed price and the final offer accepted.
Another vital question that must be asked during the interview is the average ratio between the originally retail price and the selling price which may throw light on the agent's negotiation skills. If the agent owns or is part of a large real estate company, then find out about the market share of the firm. You also have to learn if he has got a personal helper or does he handle all of the bureaucracy by himself. Also ask for references especially up to date ones which should give you an idea of the kind of sales the agent has brokered.
Most brokers have their own websites nowadays so make sure that you too ask your agent about the same. If he does have a website page, then make sure that you visit the same to get more info and also read purchaser testimonials to grasp what his past clients think about his expertise and service. If the broker also has a social networking page, then it gets simpler to find out his social status among clients and peers alike. It's also significant to find out from the agent if he uses videos and virtual tours to make it much easier to see many houses.
Another important query for your agent must be about his fee structure and also his share in the sale. It is a good idea to chat about the T&Cs beforehand and even draw up a contract to avoid unnecessary hassles later on . Also learn about the forms and the way in which the closing of the sale is handled including the required legal forms. It's also important to find out more about the termination policy of the contract in the eventuality of any disgruntlement or discontentment on your part .
