in Bridgewater NJ

In one of our previous articles, we wrote about how to find the best real estate agents in Bridgewater NJ. It is suggested that home sellers should interview at least 3 agents before making a decision.

The interview is a crucial part of the selection process. During the interview, you’ll learn about their background and knowledge of your neighborhood. You’ll find out if they are a perfect fit for you and your unique individual lifestyle. Just as you are sizing them up for a good fit, be aware that they will likely be doing the same with you, too.

Since you want to hire someone you can trust and build a successful business relationship with, it is extremely important to ask the right questions. This will give you the information you need. Here are some questions we suggest you ask:

1. How long have you been in the business?Newly-licensed agents have fresh ideas and tend to have more time to concentrate on you, while those in the business longer have more practical experience and sales record.

2. What is your marketing plan? Where and how do

you advertise? Will you show me an example of your

ads?

Find out how the agent plans to sell your Bridgewater

NJ home. You may want someone who has aggressive

and innovative approaches to getting the attention of

potential buyers, someone who knows how to market

competitively on the internet and social media.

3. How many Bridgewater NJ homes have you sold in the past year?The number of Bridgewater NJ homes sold the past year by the agent is a good indication of his or her hard work and efficiency.

4. What makes you a better choice than your competition?Expertise, education and experience set one agent apart from the others. Traits such as honesty, analytical, good communicator and sense of humor (especially during trying circumstances) are also important.

5. How much do you charge?Although real estate fees are negotiable and may vary from broker to broker, it is important to get an idea of how much you will be charged.

6. Can you provide me with names of past clients who have agreed to be references?Call these people and ask them if they are satisfied with the work ethic of the agent and if they would want to work with him or her again. Insights and feedback from past clients can help you learn more about an agent’s performance.
