4. Does the agent have a home office? A home office is very important to meet clients’ needs and should be equipped with a computer, fax, printer and copier.

5. Can the agent refer you to professionals such as home and termite inspectors, lenders, title agencies, handymen and cleaning staff? 

6. Can the agent deliver brochures of your property and put up a yard sign on your property (if HOA allows) within three or four business days? (Did you know that Dina is a professional digital photographer?)

7. Can the agent enter your property in the Multiple Listing Service with six photographs within three business days?

8. Does the agent order a virtual tour of the property?

9. Will the agent schedule a tour of your home for other real estate associates?

10. Will the agent hold open house for extra exposure if requested?

11. Will the agent advertise in local newspapers?

12. Ask the agent how he will communicate every step of the way with you (telephone, e-mail, etc.) or ask for a weekly written report.

The above items along with helping you prepare your home for sale, reviewing offers with you, negotiating offers, meeting with inspectors, removing contingencies, and making sure things flow as smoothly as possible to a successful close of escrow are of the utmost importance.
