Selling San Francisco - Find the right agent for you
Did you know there are over 400,000 licensed real estate agents in the state of California? San Francisco is home to thousands of agents. How do you pick the one that is right for you? Many agents specialize in particular neighborhoods or types of buildings. When searching for an agent, get to know their niche or sweet spot. Does it match the property you have for sale? Here are a few things to think about when choosing a listing agent.
What type of property do you own - does the agent have a history of selling homes like yours? In your neighborhood?
How long has the agent been in business - the best agents keep apprised of the current market and based on their experience can help you price your home appropriately and make sure you don’t over or under-invest to get the highest price.
What qualities are most important to you in an agent - some people will only work with an agent who has been referred by a friend, others will make their decisions based on their own online research and base their decision on ratings and reviews, and some make their decision based purely on their face-to-face meeting.
Knowing what is important to you (knowledge of the local market, overall experience, integrity, problem-solver mindset, access to top-notch resources, and overall compatibility) will ensure that you pick the right agent for you.
Do they have a strong support team? Top agents have strong support teams and systems to make your home selling process runs smoothly so that when you get to escrow your deal closes. They have go-to resources for home staging, painting, landscaping, and photographers to make sure that your home is appealing to buyers.
Do they listen? You will be working closely with your agent. Make sure that you choose an agent that will listen to you and work with you. The best agents can be creative in finding solutions.
