Before you re-list...

You have had this agent sign in front of your house for anywhere from 3 months to a year now. It is time to take stock in what has been going on. Before you extend or re-list with that agent, ask yourself these questions:

Do you wish your agent had done things differently?

• I know it can be frustrating to think that things would go one way and then have them go another. This is why I offer a written guarantee of service. We will set out the expectations in advance, in writing. And I’ll keep up my end of the bargain.

Was your house marketed effectively?

• As your agent, I put together a complete marketing package designed to get your house sold quickly and for the highest price. I have a complete plan to get us there.

How Many People Have Actually Seen Your Home?

• If people don’t see your house, they can’t buy it. I track the showings carefully and work to determine the best ways to increase the number of people viewing the home, thereby increasing the chances of a sale.

How Often Did You Hear From Your Agent?

• One of the biggest complaints in the industry is that agents don’t keep in touch. I know this is a concern for my sellers, so I have systems to ensure that they hear from me at least once each week until their house is sold.

Did Your Agent Keep All of Their Promises?

• The key to delivering great service is having systems in place to do it. Many agents make a habit of over-promising and under-delivering, not because they intend to lie to you, but because they get busy and forget. I have systems in place to make sure I never forget a promise I make.

Did Your Agent Look Out For Your Best Interests?

• As your agent, I make certain that your home is always available to show, even when I’m not around. I have systems in place to make certain that my schedule and personal life doesn’t interfere with your sale.

Did Your Last Agent Stage Your Home To Sell?

• Sometimes even the smallest of changes make a big difference in the salability of a home. The positioning of furniture, the placement of artwork, and the appearance of the decorations are the determining factors for many buyers. I can show you how to maximize your sale price with these factors.

What Do You Think Your Agent Could Have Done – But Didn’t?

• I want to know. I welcome my client’s thoughts and suggestions throughout the process. I want to make sure I know about and meet all of your expectations.

Was Your Agent A Good Negotiator?

• I make sure that I have the skills and the information I need to negotiate the best deal for you. I do this by maintaining good relationships within the real estate industry and by honing my skills regularly with every deal I handle.

Do You Still Want To Sell Your Home?

• I know it’s frustrating and you may have chosen to take some time off from the process. But the market is good and there’s no time like the present to get started. Don’t let one bad experience keep you from your dreams! Let me help.

Did Your Agent Have a Good Reputation in the Industry?

• I have a great reputation the real estate industry. I built it by always doing my job, always returning other agents’ calls, making my homes easily available for showing, and providing feedback on the showing I do for other agents. This makes agents want to work with me. And that makes your home sell faster.

Was Your Home Easy To Show?

• Sometimes it’s difficult for agents and buyers to schedule showings with busy listing agents. I make sure this is not the case with me. I want you house to always be available to the potential buyer. I have systems in place to ensure that this is the case.

How Was Your Home Described in the MLS System?

• Buyers look through the Multiple Listing Service trying to find ways to weed out the multitude of houses available. If your home has a less-than-stellar description in the listing, buyer will assume that it’s because the agent had nothing better to say, and they will use this as a reason to skip seeing your home.
