Real Estate Agent
We interviewed a real estate agent to put our house on the market and so the process has begun.
Yikes! Are we really doing this?
I had planned to interview three agents, and had picked out several to consider, with a plan to compare each to the other.
But the very first guy is the winner and I'm not going to interview any others.
He anticipated all our concerns, answered every question, convinced me he could negotiate, and he was a good fit personally. He "gets" what I think are the unique assets of our house and how to sell it for us. He was very observant.
He nailed his market assessment of our home at exactly the price I came to after an entire winter of online research and comparing homes and evaluating similar sales.
He'll take 5% commission rather than the standard 6%. He knows how to sell a home with solar panels. He can play up the qualities of our site and our large lot and placement, and the beauty of our gardens without driving away condo buyers.
