Homes in Mysore - Selecting a Broker

Tips for selecting a broker

• Call and discuss with several brokers: Get a feel for their personality, enthusiasm, and knowledge.
• Determine their area of expertise: If they don't know the neighborhood, they may not know how to price a home there.
• Stick with a full-time broker: Part-time agents are probably not as familiar with the current market.
• Image matters: Keep in mind that your broker's first pitch is to other brokers. You want someone with a good reputation whose and professionalism suggests that he or she sells a high-quality product.
• Use word of mouth: Turn to people you trust to find a realtor you trust.
• Look at open houses: Observing a broker in casual interactions with potential buyers can help you gauge his or her ability and your comfort level with the broker.
• Negotiate compensation: Brokers do not automatically require a 6 percent commission. You set your price, based on the services you want the agent to provide.
