QUESTION TO AGENT: How can
sellers be sure they have picked a
diligent, honest, motivated agent -
one who will work hard to achieve the

best possible sales result, in the least
stressful way, for their clients?

AGENT ANSWER: You can’t. There
is no sure-fire formula sellers can
follow to help them identify a good

agent – but don’t despair – there are
practical steps that can be taken to
help to narrow down the agents on
your shortlist:

Attend open home in your
suburb. See how the agents
1 interact with buyers during
the viewing – are they bored or
indifferent? Do they attend their

own open homes or pass the job
off to their PA? Note how the agent
engages with the buyers. Do they
show the home with enthusiasm?

Can they demonstrate area
knowledge and are they able to
give a verifiable picture of the local
market? Can they answer your
questions about the home? If they
can’t, what are they going to do

about it? Do they follow up with
the answer ASAP? If they do, they
are likely to follow up all leads and
buyers when selling your home.

Ask friends and family for
recommendations – friends
2 and family that is who have
the same outlook and requirements
as you do. Were low commission
