Your Experience Level

Imagine getting ready to sell your first home. You choose a real estate agent who arrives at your home on schedule. The agent sits down, pulls out a real estate listing contract and a pen, and says "Sign here!" How would you feel?

OK, then, let's say you've decided to sell your 18th home in as many years. The sales agent of your choice sits down at your kitchen table complete with a laptop computer and listing presentation book, and proceeds to give you a very basic two-hour presentation on the procedures involved in selling a home. Now how do you feel?

One of the services you can expect from your sales agent is the ability to determine and understand your experience level in selling a home, and then to respond by presenting only that information you need for a rewarding, satisfying sales experience.

If the home you're selling is your first, the presentation may include information on the selling process employed by the agent's company, their advertising strategies, use of "For Sale" signs, and an explanation of contract forms which will be used. You may also receive information about closing procedures, sales expenses, and an analysis of the estimated sale price and terms which you can expect. Or, if you've sold many times before, you may only want a thorough explanation of present market conditions and pricing.

Choose your real estate agent with care, and you'll be on your way to a successful sale.
