Some say finding “The One” is hard. It’s actually not that hard if you use a checklist to find “The One” person who can deliver on their promise. Let KW Select help you find “The One” to sell your home.
Firstly, Let’s Start With Who?
There are thousands of estate agents across SA. Finding ‘an’ agent is easy. Finding one that is accredited with the PPRA is essential. Good agents all abide by the PPRA’s code of conduct which means you should partner with “The One” that is accredited. This is not only important, it’s essential. And ask to see credentials.
Secondly, Work With A Brand You Can Trust.
That also means that partnering for success hinges on working with “The One” that has the support that is needed to leverage. Leverage is the new way of doing things. And leveraging through technology is the new essential ingredient that KW Select is able to leverage to ensure we are able to sell faster than most. Faster means that you need to sell for the best price possible in the current market. Selling means “The One” that you choose must not just list and sell, but also ensure a smooth property transfer.
Training Is Vital
Starting off use a well-known brand. Then consider the asking price which is your 2nd most important consideration. It is not about sounding good but looking good on paper to obtain your listing. It’s about what comes next and knowing how to anticipate what comes next. There is no margin for error here. Keller Williams offers the very best training for all our agents. No matter if you have sold 100’’s of properties there is always something to learn with all the legislation that changes. Banks change their credit criteria and “The One” will know this.
Ask To See A Track Record
- It’s essential that you get not just a good feeling because you are partnering for success. It’s also important to ask for information to support why “The One” is actually “The One”. A track record is essential and this is your biggest asset. You could ask how many transactions “The One” has concluded. You could also ask how many listings “The One” is managing which would be at various stages. You could ask how many buyers “The One” has on their phone or on a CRM platform.
- Ascertain “The One’s” local market knowledge. References would be available and you could/should ask for at least 1. Understand that The One knows how long it will take, on average to sell your home. Does “The One” know the difference between the different types of transactions (Cash and Cash and Bond), because timelines will all be different?
- You simply must check the commission or the professional fee “The One” will work on. This is essential if you need to know what you will clear after the sale. Also, ask about the type of mandate that the agent works on. Some of the best agents, that you want to sell your property will NOT work on an open mandate. Remember if you want to work with “The One” you need to work with the best. Consider very carefully the duration of the mandate. In the current market, 3 months is more than doable.
- It is vital that when you partner with “The One” to sell your property you also understand how often you can and should expect feedback. Every single viewing should result in feedback. How will that feedback be provided? Should you be present for the viewing to answer questions? Will there be a show day? How will the process work? How many viewings could you expect? How will the offer be managed? Which attorneys should be appointed? How long will the transfer take? How will attorney communication be handled? How will finance be secured? How important are the timelines on the offer? There is just so much that needs to be covered before you settle on “The One”.
Your Home Is Your Biggest Asset
Choosing “The One” is essential if you have plans to sell your property. It’s a big decision from:
- Agreeing on the right asking price to get started because the first 2 weeks on any new listing is essential.
- The mandate and also the duration which confirms (price, property, parties, professional fee and the period). All essential before you decide on “The One”.
