The right salesperson should be able to explain how they would sell your property, support their appraisal with relevant evidence and make it clear how you will work together. Start with your priorities, then compare the people and the plan.
What should you ask before choosing an agent?
- Which recent sales are genuinely comparable to my property, and what makes mine different?
- Who would handle viewings, buyer follow-up and negotiations?
- What preparation and marketing would you recommend, what would it cost, and why?
- How will you report buyer feedback and adjust the campaign if needed?
- How will the sale method and timing fit my circumstances?
A confident price promise is not a substitute for evidence. Ask to see a written appraisal and have your lawyer review the agency agreement.
