Make sure the agent you hire has your home sale as their priority.

With the rebound of the housing market, home builders are back to building in good and steady volume. What does that mean for the home seller who has to sell their home with a home builder who is still in the neighborhood? It means you are competing against a VERY BIG competitor. You need to sell your home. They need to sell their homes. What they can do that you can't do is they offer HUGE bonuses. $5,000, $10,000, trips, cars...and that's in addition to the typical 3% the agent will make on bringing the builder a buyer. Builders give bonuses because they know agents specialize in finding buyers. One way we find buyers is our real estate signs. We get sign calls. When you list your home, will place a sign out and put your home all over the internet. When home buyers call about your property your agent has a duty to try and sell your home first. Sometimes, however, the call of those bonuses can be quite alluring. There are many good hardworking agents that want to help you accomplish your goals when you list with them. You need to sell YOUR home not have your house used as a call capture system for an agent who may be steering folks to new construction. For more information or to list your home with an agent that is totally committed to your objectives, call 214-837-0010.
