5 Questions to Ask When Interviewing a Realtor®

When it comes to listing your home, here are some questions we suggest you ask Realtors® before you make your choice.

 

 “Are you a full time, career Realtor®?”

It only makes sense to know that you are entrusting one of, if not the largest, financial transactions of your life with a full- time professional that is laser-focused on helping you achieve your goals.

 

 

 “Do you know your numbers?”

These questions offer insight into the Agent’s track record and client success:

  • “How many homes did you sell last year?”
  • “How many homes have you sold this year?”
  • “What is your average sale price to list price ratio?”
  • “How long is your average time on the market?”

Not only should your agent know their numbers, but they should know every intimate detail of your home and community as well.

 

 

 “How will you ensure that we will have a safe, communicative sale process?”

The pandemic brings a new set of considerations when it comes to selling your home. What can you expect in terms of communication methods and frequency to keep your apprised of where you stand in the market?

 “Where can I expect you to market my property?”

We believe there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ marketing approach. Each home offers unique features and characteristics to target a specific type of buyer. That means each property requires a strategic marketing plan tailored to that specific buyer, for your specific property.

There is no ‘one size fits all’ marketing plan, we tailor our plan to your home!

 

 “Who are your top competitors and what kind of relationship do you have with them?”

This question provides opportunity to see if this Realtor®:

(a) Knows who has market share in your community

(b) Works in collaboration with their colleagues

At Popowich & Company, we pride ourselves on being highly respected within the industry and have an excellent working relationship with other industry professionals.

 

 

BONUS: “What percentage of your business is repeat or referral?”

The higher the better! If a client has a great experience they are more likely to go back, and tell their friends! We are proud to report that nearly 80% of our business is repeat and referral.

Thank you West Calgary!
