Tip #4: An agent’s training and track record … this year.
What training does an agent you are considering have about how to get homes sold in a declining market? I can tell you that some agents have no training on how to get a home sold in this market. Ask your agent that you are considering hiring what specific training on getting homes sold in this market he or she has taken in the last year. Ask the agent what, exactly, the step-by-step plan is to get the home sold, and what results the agent has had selling homes this year. How many homes agents sold in 2005 doesn’t really matter. What matters is, how have those agents adapted to today’s market, and what results are they getting?
