Page 6 - HOW TO HIRE THE RIGHT REAL ESTATE AGENT

10. How many homes have you sold in this neighborhood or area?

Good word of mouth tends to spread within neighborhoods, so if your real estate agent has had a lot of home sales in
your area, that’s probably a good sign. Familiarity with your neighborhood can only help your agent sell your home.

11. What is the price range of most of the homes you have recently sold?

You probably already have a ballpark figure in mind for your home’s price. Does the agent typically represent homes
in that price range? If most of the homes the agent sells are in a far higher or lower price range, he or she may not

be as familiar with how to market your home.

12. Do you usually sell homes like mine?

Being familiar with basic features of comparative homes helps an agent determine how to market a listed property
and enables them to present a listed home in the best possible way.
