When it comes to selling your home, you'll want to make sure you've enlisted the help of a real estate agent you're completely happy with.



This means doing your research and asking some all-important questions, which will help you decide whether you want to trust the company with putting your home on the market.
Personal recommendations

If you have friends or family who have had positive experiences with a certain real estate agent, then this might form a good basis for your own decision.

There's no substitute for a good personal recommendation - you might want to supplement it with some research of your own just to make doubly sure.

Proven track record

Any decent real estate agent should be more than happy to share their facts and figures with you, so don't be afraid to ask how much success they've had with selling property in your area.

Make comparisons on a like-for-like basis - don't ask them about apartment sales if you're looking to put a four-bedroom detached family home up for sale!

Local knowledge

There's also no substitute for local knowledge. A real estate agent should know all the ins and outs of your local area. If they don't then look elsewhere.

Being aware of the region makes a huge difference, as it'll help shape the marketing of your property, the price it's listed at and the demographics it needs to be targeted at.

Keeping in touch

Maintaining contact with your estate agent is crucial, especially if you want to know how much interest has been shown in your property.

This means keeping lines of communication open, so ask how often they expect to update you on the situation and what means they will use to do it.
