It’s a gut thing. But verify it with others too…

How do you choose the right agent to sell your property? Do you go with the agent you bought off? What about the agent who clearly has your street covered? Or do you go with referrals?

To determine the right agent, here’s the magic formula: Find the agent who will sell your home for the best possible price by generating maximum buyer interest coupled with astute negotiating – in partnership with you.

If you think you got a ripper deal when you bought your place, chances are, employing the same agent to sell for you might prove a ripper deal for your buyers, not you. Steer clear.

If you go with the agent who seems prominent in your area or street, then you might be getting closer to achieving your sales goal. There’s probably a good reason for their continued presence.

Often, finding the right agent comes down to a gut thing. A feeling. And verifying this ‘feeling’ with others can sometimes help cement your decision.

Seeking out client referrals can prove as valuable research. Honestly, no one actually gives a positive referral, unless their experience was exceptional.

And here’s a conveniently constructed segue… Over the years Madeleine Hicks has had many clients come back and ask her to sell their properties again or help with rental management. And many clients have written glowing referrals.

The team recently received this referral: “(Madeleine) achieved a higher price for us than what we had hoped for, always returned our phone calls promptly, and was at all times friendly and cheerful.

It was a pleasure to deal with Madeleine, and we would not hesitate to recommend her and her team to anyone buying or selling.”

When it comes to choosing the right agent to sell your property, do your research, go with your gut, and look at client referrals too: They can be a clarifying source of information.
