Interesting article today on Inman news about finding the areas’ “best Realtor.’ The best Realtor is not necessarily the area’s Realtor with the most volume. Find a Realtor through personal referrals, if possible. Ask him/her for references from his most recent transactions, whether buyers or sellers.
“The reason you want to presentations. Then you can compare their recommended asking price for your home, services they offer, and their client references of previous sellers.”
I no longer refer to listing presentations as such. They are, in my mind, a proposal as to whether the Seller and I will work well together. I need to evaluate their goals as much as they need to evaluate my skills. Not everybody is destined to have a good working relationship!
