Tips for Hiring the Right Real Estate Advisor

Selling your home? Find your Perfect Real Estate Advisor.

Selling your home is a big step—like embarking on a new adventure! Whether it’s your first sale or you’re a seasoned pro, having the right real estate agent by your side makes all the difference. Here’s how to find a great match, so the journey is smooth, successful, and maybe even a little fun:

  • Look for a Team Player: Your agent should feel like a partner, not just a salesperson. Trust and teamwork are key
  • Communication is Everything: Choose someone who listens to you, explains things clearly, and keeps you in the loop—no question is too small. 
  • Shared Values Matter: Whether you value honesty, flexibility, or a sense of humor, find an agent who “gets” you and your goals.
  • Experience Counts, But So Does Chemistry: An impressive track record is great, but a good track record isn't necessarily everything. Overly busy agents don't always have the time to dedicate to your property. An agent who is less busy will have more time to market and focus on selling your home.
  • Ask Good Questions: Don’t be shy! Ask about their local experience, marketing strategy, and how they prefer to communicate. A marketing strategy should be more than just listing on the MLS and posting on social media. Outside the box marketing is crucial.
  • Check Reviews and References: A little homework goes a long way—read testimonials, ask for references and look at their social media. 
  • Trust Your Gut: Sometimes, your instincts know best. If it feels right, you’re probably on the right track.

Remember, selling your home is a team effort. With the right agent, you’ll feel confident, informed, and maybe even have a few laughs along the way. Happy selling!

The first meeting should be getting to know one another and diving in to expectations and goals.
