Choosing a realtor can be a confusing process. We are all competing for your business, we have all had some success, but what is the difference between realtors in Chestermere?

I know from my own experience in the real estate business that my clients value:

- Honesty

- Experience

- Ethics

- Previous Success

- Open Communication

So you’ve decided to sell your home and want to use the services of a real estate company. How do you choose a realtor?

Here are some tips that should help you make the process a little easier.

Talk to friends, acquaintances and business associates about who they would recommend. This will generally give you one of the best indications to a good realtor. Watch that their suggestions are not just relatives in the business. It still pays to check out all of their recommendations.

Check your local papers for Realtors who are heavily into advertising. You want a Realtor who is going to promote your property. Heavy advertising is also a good sign of a successful realtor.

Look for a realtor who specializes in your area and within your submarket, i.e., if you own a condominium unit, look for a Realtor that is well versed in condominium sales. In smaller communities, this may not always work so choose someone who specializes primarily in residential property. There is no sense in choosing a realtor specializing in commercial property if you want to sell your house.

I’m sure that I’m going to get email on this one but, if you can, choose a full time realtor and not someone who sells real estate as a part time job. The bottom line for you is to sell your home and since your paying about $7,000.00 on a $100,000.00 house sale, you bet you want their full attention to the job. In some rural areas and smaller communities, you won’t find a full time Realtor and in this situation, there’s not much you can do.
