SELLING
A CONDO
When selling your condo hiring a qualified
and professional agent may be the difference between a quick sale or a
long stessful process and the difference between getting an extra few
hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Choose an agent who is experienced,
professional, has a big and capable support staff behind them and knows
the market and area.
Two most important factors in selling
a condo: Price & Condition
Ask your realtor for advice in preparing your home for sale and for showings.
Pricing your condo competitively will present your home
to the most serious and qualified buyers. Having more qualified buyers
know your condominium is for sale will increase showings through your
unit and better position you to find buyers who are willing to pay the
highest price for your unit. The Condition of your condo
apartment are the two highest and important factors in getting your unit
sold.
Competively pricing your condo may place you
in a position to receive multiple offers leading to a full or above asking
price sale. strategically improving the condition of your condo apartment
may be the difference between selling in 10-20 days versus being on the
market for 90-120 days.
When choosing a realtor ask:
- How long have you been a realtor?
- How long have you been in business?
- Does your office a full support team? How big is your
office?
- Who will take and book appointments for potential buyers to view the
condo? What are the hours of your office?
- How many condo units have you sold in the past 3, 6,
12 months
- What is there listing to selling percentage?
- What is there asking price to selling price percentage?
Real Estate Fees:
In our Multiple Listing System (MLS) most buyers will have their own representation
and thier agent gets paid through the MLS co-operating broker commission
splitting. So, when interviewing agent a key question to ask is not how
much commission they charge but how they will split the commission between
agents. Is your agent is paying out a fair or an incentive filled commission
to buying agents?
