Does Your Agent Have What It Takes?
As the saying goes, “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog!” (Mark Twain)
Rather choose an agent who can sell 8 properties out of 10 than one who can only sell 10 out of 26.
What marketing strategies did they use? Did they price the properties correctly?
How did they react when you asked them to reduce their commission? This is a good way of testing their negotiating skills.
How do they communicate with you? Did they follow up after meeting with you? Have you built a good rapport with them?
These are important skills when it comes to negotiating with a buyer for your property. Property practitioners will agree that most sales contracts are different. Every client has their own specific requirements and needs. These must be clearly stated on “an offer to purchase”.
Contracts must be correctly worded and easy to understand, i.e. the meaning must be clear.
Look into the history of the agent. Google them, look them up on Facebook, LinkedIn etc. and go through their latest lists of referrals.
