10 Questions To Ask When Hiring An Estate Agent
9. Do you have a reference list of houses for sale in Retreat and surrounding areas I could contact?
Ask to see this list of Retreat real estate clients, and then proceed to spot check some of the names.
10. What happens if I am not happy with the job you are doing to get my Retreat properties sold?
Can I cancel my listing mandate?
Be wary of Retreat estate agents that lock you into a lengthy listing contract that they can get out of (by ceasing to effectively market your home) but you can't.
There are usually penalties and estate agency protection periods which safeguard the agent's interests, but not yours.
How confident is your agent in the service s/he will provide you?
Will s/he allow you to cancel your contract without penalty if you are not satisfied with the service provided?
Does the estate agent have a Quality Assurance Programme run by an independent party, like a franchise head office, who will check up on the service you received and to whom you can direct customer service complaints?
Does the agent have a “Guaranteed Sold” programme in place i.e. if your home does not sell, will he put his money where his mouth is and buy your Retreat property?
