Selecting A Realtor

Did you know that all Realtors are not created equal? Choosing the right realtor could mean the difference between saving a few dollars or losing thousands. It’s important to find one that you feel comfortable with and one that is experienced with a proven track record.

You need a REALTOR®
Because real estate transactions are a complicated process and involve legal contracts, you need a skilled expert that is knowledgeable on the rules and regulations to guide you through the process and help you avoid delays and costly mistakes. REALTORS® are members of the National Association of REALTORS®, a trade organization of nearly one million members all across the nation. As REALTORS®, we abide by a stringent code of ethics that guarantees our clients receive the highest-level of service and integrity. Because real estate transactions are a serious matter, you require experts in the buying and selling process. As fully licensed REALTORS®, we know and observe the laws and regulations of the state of California.

Because you have the right to make an informed decision about who you should select as your REALTORS®, we recommend you ask the following questions. After our initial interview, we are confident you will select our team, Joe and Gloria Grochowski to help you with all your real estate needs.

1. How long have you been in residential real estate sales? Is it your full-time job? (While experience is no guarantee of skill, real estate, like many other professions, is basically OJT (On-the-Job Training).
2. Are you a REALTOR?
3. How many homes did you and your company sell last year?
4. How many days did it take you to sell the average home? How did that compare to the overall market?
5. How close to the initial asking prices of the homes you sold were the final sale prices?
6. What types of specific marketing systems and approaches will you use to sell my home? (Look for someone who has aggressive, innovative approaches, not just someone who’s going to put a sign in the yard and hope for the best.) The Gold Circle Marketing Plan will fully explain our customized approach to successfully selling your home.
7. Will you represent me exclusively, or will you represent both the buyer and the seller in the transaction?
8. Can you recommend service providers who can assist me in obtaining home staging services, making repairs on my home, and other things I need done? (By the way, Gloria is a trained-certified interior designer)
9. What type of support does your brokerage office provide you? (Coldwell Banker is a trusted nationally recognized name in real estate offering superior support)
10. What’s your business philosophy? (While there’s no right answer to this question, the response will help you assess what’s important to the real estate practitioner—fast sales, service, etc.—and determine how closely the practitioner’s goals and business emphasis mesh with your own.)
11. How will you keep me informed about the progress of my transaction? How frequently? Using what media?
12. Could you please give me the names and phone numbers of your three most recent clients? We have many references we would be happy to share with you. Why not take a look at their Testimonials now.
