Ready to sell your home at the Lake of the Ozarks? One of the keys to successfully selling your home is hiring the right real estate agent at the Lake of the Ozarks. When you have an experienced agent by your side, they can help you market your home and get it in front of the right buyers. One of the best ways to find the right sellers agent at the Lake of the Ozarks is to them a few questions before you hire them to sell your home. Not sure what to ask? The Fran Campbell Team has put together a list of questions you should ask.


1. Can you explain the selling process?


Even if you are familiar with the process in general, this question can help refresh what will happen while your property is for sale. Each agent may have a different twist on how they handle few things, so it is best to hear about their plans for selling your property before making an agreement.

2. How much is my property worth? Why?


This is usually one of the first questions a seller will ask an agent. Homeowners want to know how much they can expect to get out of their property. Don’t forget to ask why or how they came up with the estimated property worth. Receiving information about the current market from an insider can be beneficial for selecting a pricing strategy your home.

3. What method of communication will you use?


Communication is critical when your home is listed on the market. There are a number of communication methods a seller and agent can use to send and receive messages between one another. Ask what method they will be using, and state if you would prefer a different communication medium. Also, ask how often you should expect to hear from the seller’s agent.

4. What amount will I come away with?


Another popular question that is important to clarify upfront, is how much money to expect from the sale. A seller needs to know what amount the agent retains in return for their marketing and selling services.

5. How long have you been an agent?


Ask your seller’s agent about their credentials. You want an experienced agent to be in charge of the sale of your investment.  Be sure to ask about any special certifications or awards the agent may have as well.

6. Are you a full-time agent?


You want to work with someone who is dedicated to selling your home. A full-time agent will potentially have more time to dedicate to marketing and showing. 

7. What methods do you plan to use to market my home?


Marketing of a home is important for gaining exposure. Be sure to ask your agent how they plan to get your property out in front of potential buyers. This can give you helpful insights into how they will present your home and how aggressively they will work to sell it.

8. How many homes have you sold in this area in the past year?


Know the current statistics that make up your potential listing agent’s portfolio. This information can help you see their experience in the current market, from a numerical standpoint.

The answers to the questions above can offer insight about the seller’s agent in order for you to make an informed decision. Your home is most likely your biggest investment so you will want to make sure that you choose your sellers agent wisely.
