Hi there. my wife and i would like to sell our home in the bakersfield area and was wondering if anyone would recommend a realtor? I would appreciate it no realtors would nominate themselves. There is a time for self praise however this is not it. thanks.
I am looking for a realtor to sell my house. I am looking for individuals that had a positive experience selling their home in the bakersfield area that they would recommend.
I will not nominate my self. I promise... :)
I will give you some pointers on how to select a Realtor. Please dont just take 1 off the street. Your home is one of the most expensive investment that you have and you don't want to just trust it to "some" Realtors.
Interview at least 2 Realtors. Invite them to your home. Before the meeting please make sure that they are aware that you are looking forward for their presentation.
Ask about the statistics on your area or subdivision.
How many actives- these are going to be your competition.
How many sold and how much was it sold for, for the past 90,60 and 30 days - these are hard numbers, meaning, these are how much a buyer is willing to pay for a comparable property in your area.
How many pendings are there - these are for sale homes that are waiting to close, you will not be able to see the sold price yet, but will give you an idea of which active once are going.....
Ask for the Realtor's, marketing plan. What marketing plan is he/she is going to do so that your home will be exposed to as much buyer as possible.
Ask if he/she has a designation. Realtors have designations, the highest designation so far is the CRS - Certified Residential Specialist. CRS Realtors has gone through extensive training and they usually know the latest trend in the market, what's new and effective.
Other designations are: Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI), Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), your state might have their own designation.
So yes, not all Realtors are the same. Go with the full service Realtors too. I did a lot of take over listings from Discount Realtors, just because when the listing agreement was signed, they stick their yard sign on your yard and you will never hear from them again.
Make sure the Realtor that you hire understands that you needed a feedback from the prospective buyers. This is a good indication of what the buyers think about your home.
On the presentation of your home, please de-personalize your home, take down all family and personal pictures and replace it with neutral frames. A good Realtor will also walk you through this.
If you need more help on this area, please do not hesitate to contact me (rsvp@samgabilagon.com).... I am a Realtor in Austin Texas but I have a network of Realtors in your area and I can provide a name for you so you can start the interview process....
Good luck. I hope this helps!
