4. Marketing
Selling your home isn’t just about taking pictures and posting them online or in a real estate magazine. There is a lot more involved in marketing a home, and your real estate agent should have a thorough knowledge of marketing tactics. Marketing trends have changed, so ensure your real estate agent is up to date with the current processes, including the various forms of social media marketing. Some additional questions to ask include where your home will be marketed, and if open houses will be held. Be sure to have your agent explain the reasons for each answer provided.
Since marketing is such a crucial factor in selling your home, this is where meeting with several different real estate agents can be beneficial. Some have different tactics than the others, and it’s all about choosing an agent who shares your point of view.
