What Should I Ask a Listing Agent Before I Hire One in Arlington?
Ask how they would price your home, how they would get it ready, how they will market it, and what it will cost you. A good agent answers in plain words and shows you proof.
Hiring an agent is a big choice. Meet more than one if you like. Here are seven questions to bring.
The Mike Webb Team (Mike and Claudia Webb, RE/MAX Allegiance) helps homeowners in Arlington, Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC get their homes ready to sell and sold.
The seven questions
How would you price my home, and why? Look for real comparable sales, not just a number.
What would you do to get my home ready? Ask who does the work and who pays.
How will you market it? Photos, online listing, signs, open houses, and sharing with other agents.
How often will I hear from you? Pick a plan you can count on.
What are your total costs to me? Get it in writing, including commission and any fees.
What if my home does not sell as fast as hoped? A good agent has a plan for price and feedback.
Can I see your recent results? Ask for sales near you and the number of days on market.
What is our answer to number two?
Every seller gets the White Glove Home Sale Method at no additional cost, whatever the price or type of home. That can include painting, repairs, physical staging, deep cleaning, carpet and window cleaning, caulking, power washing, landscaping, and removing items you do not want to move. We get your home ready to win at no cost to you.
What is our answer to number seven?
Over the last 12 months, 11 of our 24 listings were on the market 10 days or fewer. Some took longer. Those are past results, not a promise for your home.
FAQ
Should I interview more than one agent?
That is up to you. Many sellers do. Ask each the same questions so you can compare.
Does the agent with the lowest commission cost me less?
Not always. Look at the whole picture: price, prep, marketing, and results.
When should I hire an agent?
Earlier is easier. Starting a few weeks before you list gives time to get the home ready.
