Questions to ask an agent

For the past few years the Brampton real estate market had been booming. So ofcourse a lot of people decided to take up real estate selling as a profession (Brampton and Georgetown saw a lot of new registrants). Not everyone is cut out for sales however. That is why you must be sure that the agent you hire to sell your house is the best bang for the buck. Before you list your house with an agent there are some important things you should know about them. These questions are a good guideline.

1. How long have you been in the business?
2. How many sales did you do last year in Brampton? How many of them were your own listings?
3. Can I speak with your past clients?
4. Do you specialize in Brampton?
5. Is this a good time to sell?
6. How will you market my home?
7. How much commission do you charge?
8. Are your services promised in writing?
9. Can I cancel the listing if I’m not satisfied? Is there a penalty?
10. Do you do virtual tours? Are the pictures taken by a professional?
11. Can I see samples of your Feature Sheets?
12. How often will you keep me updated?
13. Do you follow up with agents for feedback?
14. Will you hold open houses?

If you own a house in Brampton it is very important to get a Brampton agent (or atleast someone who specializes in Brampton). They will know how much the houses are selling for and what’s in demand.
