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.
Understanding The Difference Between a Good and Great Tucson Real Estate Agent.
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.
Questions To Ask When Interviewing Real Estate Agents to List Your Tucson Home
Most agents sound impressive during a listing appointment and everyone can tell you about a great result they had at some point.
So how do you tell if a real estate agent is the right fit for you?
Here are some key questions to ask:
- How will you market my home that is different from other Tucson real estate agents?
- What is the average days on market for homes listed in my neighborhood? What is the average days on market for all homes listed in the Tucson MLS?
- Are we in a buyer’s market or seller’s market and what can we expect when negotiating offers that come in on my property?
- Do you believe in doing open houses and is my home a good candidate for doing open houses?
- Tell me about a property you had listed for sale that was hard to sell? What happened? What did you do to get it sold?
