Choosing the Right Real Estate Agent to Sell Your Property

Selecting the right agent is one of the most crucial decisions when selling your property. A great agent will set realistic price expectations, advise on timeframes, and create a marketing strategy that maximises your home’s value. Look for an agent with local area expertise, a strong buyer database, and experience with properties similar to yours—and most importantly, someone you feel comfortable with. Effective communication is key to reducing stress and ensuring your property is presented well.

How to Choose the Best Agent for You

Start by researching agents who are active in your area. Look online and in local papers to identify top performers, then narrow it down to your top three. Invite each agent to your home for an interview, asking the same set of questions for a consistent comparison. Key questions to cover include:

  1. Experience and track record in the area
  2. Recent sales achievements (past six months)
  3. Average time on market for sold properties
  4. Key selling points they identify in your home
  5. Recommended sale method and reasoning
  6. Price expectations and market timing
  7. Approach to advertising and marketing
  8. Why they’re the best agent to sell your home
  9. Commission fee and their licensing status
  10. Communication strategy and frequency of updates

Taking this approach will help you find an agent who is not only knowledgeable but also aligned with your selling goals.
