Finding a REALTOR®

What To Look For In A Realtor®
Deciding to use the professional services of a Realtor® can be the most important decision you will make once you have decided to sell your home. The Realtor® you choose will provide numerous duties to you throughout the home selling process, from listing your home through the closing date. By choosing an agent, you can feel confident that your Realtor® will represent YOU! The Realtor® you choose should be someone you not only feel confident in, but also comfortable with. They should have a thorough knowledge of the market that is specific to your area and an ability to market your home appropriately. They should make sure that the price you decide to place on your home is not too high or too low. The Seller’s agent is paid a commission at closing from the sale’s proceeds. This commission is usually agreed upon up front when signing the listing agreement.

Our agents at Bob Firestone & Company have extensive knowledge of what it takes to price, market, and sell homes in today’s market. Here are just a few of the professional services you can count on us to provide:

  • We will provide you with recent market trends in your area specific to the style and amenities your home has to offer. This will ensure an appropriate asking price that isn’t so high that potential buyers lose interest, or so low that you are not getting the money you deserve.
  • We will prepare a net profit estimate for you so you can feel comfortable with what to expect your proceeds to be at the time of closing.
  • We will utilize our own aggressive marketing plan to include, but not limited to, the Realtor® MLS system, local news papers and magazines, flyers, our own personal web site as well as other internet outlets.
