Selecting the perfect selling agent is crucial for a successful and stress-free property sale. This guide will walk you through some key factors to consider when choosing a real estate professional.

Market Knowledge

You want to choose a selling agent who possesses in-depth knowledge of the Perth property market. Look for agents who can offer insights beyond automated valuation tools, demonstrating critical thinking and a deep understanding of your specific property and landscape.

Pricing Approach

Accurate pricing plays a big role in ensuring a timely sale at the best possible price. You should understand what data and strategies the agent uses to determine the value of the property. An agent that can combine market data with their expert knowledge of the current and future market predictions is often the preferred choice.

Ask Questions

Don’t shy away from asking questions while you’re looking for a sales agent. You can ask about past sales, their strategy and market knowledge. In this article, you can find some of the important questions we recommend.

Clarify Their Fee Structure

The fee structure will vary from agency to agency and based on the property. In this article (link to pricing article) we have explained the selling fees you can expect when selling real estate in Perth.

Trust Your Instincts

The factors we have covered so far are “financial” – which agent is the most knowledgeable? Which agent will give me the best price?

Beyond qualifications and strategies, it’s important to choose an agent you feel comfortable working with. Do you feel comfortable with the agent? Do they act professionally and ethically?

Pay attention to whether they listen attentively to your needs and concerns. Reflect on whether you can envision working closely with this person throughout the selling process. A strong, trusting relationship with your agent can make the selling process much smoother and less stressful.
