After many wonderful years in your beautiful home it is time to free yourself of all the responsibilities involved in owning a single-family home. It is time to sell and buy a condominium where the responsibility will belong to someone else. But now the question is how do you pick the best West Vancouver Realtor?
The Real Estate Council of BC (RECBC) is an agency regulating the licensing of the individual agent and brokerages. This board has a search engine that facilitates your task in ensuring the agent is qualified under the norms of the Council. Those on the list could chosen as a point at which you can start looking. Your family and friends may try to influence you in your choice but make the choice after your research.
You should choose an agent affiliated with a Multiple Listing Service, MLS, since this will give your property more attention. This should be a career for this person, not a hobby or part time work. It is a difficult career in which to succeed so an individual who is committed has a better opportunity at success.
Being able to estimate the listing price is very important. Should a property be priced too high then it will not be as attractive as other properties in this price range, which are well priced. In listing high you are at a disadvantage and it may be difficult to sell your home.
Ask questions and request names of recent customers who can tell you about their experience selling their home. Ask for a list of recent sales to enable you to evaluate the success rate. Years of experience are not always the benefit you think it may be. A new agent may be very enthusiastic about being able to sell your home.
Lowering the commission amount may not be beneficial to you. Working hard to receive the commission motivates the agent. There are other properties that he can sell that will give him the full commission. So, why should your property be the priority the West Vancouver Realtor you have chosen?
