Everyone knows home sellers should interview several realtors before signing a listing contract.
Yet we also know about two/thirds hire the first agent they interview!
What gives?
Here's what I think:
interviewing agents is not like trying on coats at the department store.
Interviews take time.
Digesting lots of new information from several sources is exhausting, sometimes confusing.
And, let's face it, 30 to 60 minutes with a salesperson can feel very stressful.
Multiply this times three, or four, or five and . . . well you understand.
It's just a lot easier to go with the first candidate.
But here's a better solution.
For that matter, use an anonymous e-mail account or the e-mail features at a classified advertising website like Craigslist.
Ask potential agents to write answers to your most important questions before you invite one to come for a formal interview.
Ask questions requiring thought and effort to answer.
Questions like:
How you will market my home so the most qualified buyers schedule showings?
How will you help me keep my property safe with so many strangers coming through?
What do you charge and what value will I receive?
You can use these questions, or make up your own.
If you live in the Boulder/Denver area, please include me in your list of potential agents! My contact information is below and I am happy to answer all your questions thoroughly.
