When it comes to selecting a Tucson real estate agent, it is absolutely critical that you make a good decision.
An average real estate agent can usually do enough to get your home sold, but a great Tucson Realtor® can add 5% to 10% (or more) to the potential value of your property.
If your home is worth $500k, that could put an extra $25k to $50K in your back pocket.
That is tax-free money if it’s your own home that you have owned for 2 years or more.
To make that much money working in your normal day job you would probably need to earn an $80k full-time salary for a whole year!
That’s 1,920 hours of work.
Alternatively, choosing the right Tucson real estate agent might be as simple as reading this article and knowing what to look for.
An average Tucson real estate agent will take a reactive approach to sell your home. They will put a sign up outside, take some photos, chuck it online and wait for the phone to ring. Their focus is on selling your home as quickly as possible, so they can bank a commission. They might get lucky and find a buyer quickly, but if that doesn’t happen, they are often short on ideas when it comes to figuring out ‘plan-b’.
The Tucson Realtor® you need to hire to get a premium price is one who has a database of clients looking in your area. One who understands the key target market for your property and can employ a proven strategy to attract the right buyers and encourage competition between them.
Their focus is on selling your home for the highest possible price in the least amount of time with the fewest hassles.
Real estate agents are NOT a commodity. They are not all created equal.
It’s just like any other profession. You get good doctors and not so good ones. Good lawyers and not so good ones. The cheapest real estate agent is not always the best option and can cost you a lot more in the long run. Would you want to be operated on by an in-experienced surgeon? Would you hire the cheapest mechanic to work on your classic car?
Don’t go with just any Tucson real estate agent. This is your biggest asset and it’s important that you have the right representation.
Most agents sound impressive during a listing appointment and everyone can tell you about a great result they had at some point.
