Unparalleled Trust Necessary Before Listing Your House
You and your family have decided to
sell your house. It is now time to choose a real estate professional to help
with the process. One of the major attributes this agent must possess is
trustworthiness. To what degree do you need to trust them? You must have
enough trust in them that you feel comfortable they will accomplish all four
things below:
1. Sell possibly the largest asset your family owns
In
many cases, a home is the largest asset a family has. Studies have shown that
the equity many families have in their home is the largest percentage of that
family's overall wealth.
2. Set the correct market value on that asset
Pricing
is crucial even in the best of markets. You want to get the best price for
your home without putting your house at a value that buyers will have little
interest in.
3. Set the time schedule for the liquidation of that asset
Your
family probably has a certain timetable for the sale of your house and the
move into your next home. Coordinating the home selling process to meet
certain schedules can be tricky.
4. Set a fair fee for the services required to liquidate that asset
You
will need to pay a commission to an agent for selling the home and
coordinating all elements of the selling transaction, including possible
future negotiations (ex. with a home inspector or appraiser). That's a lot of
trust. Make sure you pick a true professional to help with the sale of your
home.
