Hiring a realtor for the critical job of selling your home is a really key decision. Get it wrong and there could be some serious consequences, in terms of a home remaining unsold for longer than you would like and/or not achieving its optimum price in whatever current market conditions happen to be.

Your search for the right realtor will be considerably enhanced if you know exactly what you should be expecting your realtor to do for you.

As your agent I will

• Demonstrate absolute integrity.
• Educate you about the current conditions of the market.
• Co-ordinate the work of other needed professionals throughout the process.
• Negotiate on your behalf to get you the best deal possible.
• Check and double-check paperwork and deadlines.
• Inform and discuss with you, and suggest solutions to solve any problems that may arise.

Going on from there I offer you

• In-depth expertise in and experience of the local market.
• A demonstrable current track record in the area.
• Working as a full-time realtor with full-time licensed assistants, managing appointments/enquiries/administration, etc.
• Aggressive seller/buyer identification and connection methods.
• Strong customer service ethic/communication/marketing skills.
• A strong online presence – quality website, social networking engagement, etc.
• Ongoing commitment to continuing professional development – consistently honing selling skills and real estate industry knowledge.

I would strongly advise you to ensure that whatever realtor you select, he or she ticks all of the above boxes. This should hugely improve your chances of meeting your goals first time.
