Questions You Need to Ask When Trying to Sell Your Long Grove Home

One of the main questions that a seller will ask an agent when looking to put their Long Grove home up for sale is how much commission do you charge to sell our home? This is individual per agent and company.

What do you get for the money you pay to sell your Long Grove home?

The old rule of thumb still applies “You Get What You Pay For!” When interviewing agents be sure to ask:

Where does my home appear online?

How many websites will my home appear on?

How many page views does your website get a week?

How many buyer leads do you get a week?

Where do your buyer leads come from?

What newspapers will my home appear in?

Do you post my home on social network sites?

Do you mail market my home?

What type of virtual tours do you do?

How many pictures do you post?

Do you have a professional photographer take pictures of my home?

Do you have a team and a listing plan?

In order to do the things that I have listed, an agent has to be willing to spend money and as we all know, it takes money to make money.

There are many discount “Brokers” out in the market. My questions are:

If an agent is willing to work for nothing, then will they put there best foot forward during the listing process marketing your home?

What will happen when an offer comes in, will you be a priority to them?

Will they work hard to get you a good price, or just want to drop the price to get it sold?

It has been my experience that is what usually happens, the house does not sell, the sellers get upset and they have lost a lot of time

So when interviewing an agent, I hope this information will gives you some food for thought when trying to sell your Long Grove Home.
