First of all, it’s important to remember you are the owner of the property who is considering employing an agent to sell it for you. To know if the agent you have just met is the right one to employ, you need to interview them.
Look at their presentation. Do they appeal to you? Do they seem like nice people? Is this someone you can work with? Show them around your home. Watch their level of interest by seeing if they ask questions or make notes.
After the agent has seen your home, ask them “What will you do to get the best price for my home?”
Some agents will say, “How much do you want?” or “What figure did you have in mind?” Do not answer these questions. You are conducting a job interview. Simply say, “Before we talk about a specific price, I would like you to tell me what your agency can do to get the best price for us”.
Do not be intimidated or allow yourself to be pressured into doing anything that doesn’t feel right. It is your home and you are in charge.
Say About Us...
We loved working with Cate and her team. They were very professional and exceeded our expectations because they are normal, approachable, down the earth people who are passionate about what they do. So refreshing – CKRE buck the trend of your average Real Estate Agent. Definitely recommend!
Cate, Sean & Liz really know the meaning of Customer Service! During the sale of my property, we received a level of care and attention over & above anything we’ve received from Agents in the past. Nothing was too much trouble and to have someone that we knew was trustworthy just made the whole process so much easier. Cate is an expert in her business, she arms you with all the facts but ultimately the decision making was left to us with no pressure. Credit to Cate and her wonderful team!!
Fantastic experience buying our first home with Cate. She walked us through the whole process, and we felt we were in safe hands throughout. I would recommend her to anyone!
We found Cate, Sean & Liz to be honest, reliable and so easy to communicate with. Their processes throughout the sale of our property kept us informed every step of the way, with weekly reports and text messages plus feedback from each inspection. We were also very impressed by the “no sale, no fee” policy they have in place – which showed confidence in their ability to sell our property. Would definitely recommend Cate and her team.
