While there are many questions you should ask your Realtor.  I have compiled a list of questions I would ask my Realtor after being in Real Estate for almost 2 years.  

1.  How long have you been in Business?   If they say under 6 months that is fine just realize they probally don’t have the experance or knowledge that a seasoned agent has. 

2.  How did you determine that list price?  The correct anwser is I researched both Under Contract and Recently Sold Compairable homes and took into consideration your time frame.   If they say knowledge of the area I would test there knowledge by asking questions about recently sold homes in your neighborhood.   Pricing is the most important factor in determining if your home will sell or sit.   If you over price your home in this market, IT WILL NOT SELL!  Sorry 2005 was 2 years ago. 

3.  What are you going to do to get my home sold?   The correct anwser should include the following items.   Internet Advertising, Local Print Media, MLS, Signage, Flyers To Agents, Board Tour, Open House if necesary.   When they say they have an internet site ask them where it ranks in google for local real estate terms.   If they have no idea or if its under ten realize there site is worthless.  (Doesn’t mean they are a bad agent, it just means there site isn’t providing any real worth to you).

Well I could think of a hundred more questions you may want to ask your Realtor before listing a home with them but this should give you a pretty good idea.   If you have any questions for the Spencer Team give us a call at 435-590-7070.
