Realtor Interviews - Zillow Real Estate Advice

Cristie,

Talk to several on the phone - for sure - and it's always good to meet in person with a few.

Here are a couple of things to think about and consider:

- Be wary of the agent who promises a high price for your home, especially if others are consistently coming up with a lower one.

- Ask each to ensure your agreement allows you to end your contract if you are not happy with their work. (You do want to give them latitude to do the job you're hiring them for - but if you don't hear from them each week, it's time to cut them loose. (And, if you do go with an agent who promised a big price - don't allow them to beat you down on price every week until you drop it.)

If you are getting showings and no offers - it's priced too high.

If you aren't getting any showings - it's priced too high.

- Don't completely eliminate newer agents from your mix. Some, like myself, have a wealth of marketing experience that can get exposure for your property. And, you might find one who will spend more time and effort trying to get your home sold - than someone who has many listings and relies on getting your home sold by placing the details on the local Multiple Listing Service and waiting for an "average" selling time to get an offer.

You're doing the right thing here - getting opinions and recommendations. Keep it up and weigh all your options.
