Calgary Real Estate Agents

Questions to Ask Real Estate Agents Before Hiring

You may think all real estate agents are the same, or that you may only spend a couple weeks with the person. When you bringing another person into your life, your finances, and your home it is critical to take the time to make the correct decision.

• Does the agent specialize in your area?

  When speaking to your screened real estate agent ask if they are experienced and knowledgeable enough to know the average days on the market of properties in the community. They will base this on factors such as location of your house, condition of house, price, timing, and market demand. The primary goal is to sell your house in the fastest time possible but also for the best price.

• What is Average Days on Market of listings?

  Always ask to see how long their own listings sit on the market. Compare it to other agents you interview and if theirs is high ask for an explanation.

• Can I See Your Real Estate License?

  Always be sure you are working with a trained, licensed professional. Every listing agent should be prepared to deliver proof of their Alberta real estate license to sell in your area.

• Can You Provide a List of Referrals?

  Like a license, every listing agent and buyer agent should arrive at a first meeting with a list of referrals. IF they do not, ask for them.

• Have You Sold Homes in This Neighbourhood?

  Calgary Communities are different in terms of what types of homes sell, what buyers want, and more. Agents are selling the neighbourhood and its amenities as well. If an agent has experience in your specific neighborhood that is an advantage.

• How long have you been a REALTOR®?

  Be cautious of new real estate agents. It is not a deal breaker by any means especially if they have great customer referrals.

• Are You a Part Time or Full Time Agent?

  Be far more cautious if an agent is part-time. Selling your home needs to be a full-time job, and they should be focused.

• Why use a real estate agent?

  Find real estate agents with community experience and market knowledge to ensure your transaction is completed competently and professionally.
