What is the best way to find a good
Real Estate Agent?
Word of mouth, friend recommendations and recommendations
from the other professionals you work with are the best ways
to find a good Realtor. Failing that, don't be afraid to interview
Realtors until you find one that you are comfortable with
and are convinced has the experience and expertise to work
in your best interests.
What is meant by the term Dual Agent?
A Dual Agent, or Agency, occurs when one brokerage or Realtor
represents both the Buyer and the Seller with respect to the
purchase of a home or property. There are strict rules that
must be followed in such circumstances, and it is important
that all parties to the transaction understand and have explained
clearly to them the implications of this type of Agency.
How can I sell quickly for the highest
possible price?
The best way to insure a quick sale at the highest possible
price, and with the fewest problems, is to list the property
right the first time. By that I mean priced competitively relative
to the competition in the market place and the condition of
the property itself.
As Realtors, we use what is called a Market Evaluation
to help the Seller determine the right price to ask. A Market
Evaluation, if done properly, takes into account comparable
homes for sale, home that have recently sold that would be comparable
to the subject property, homes that have not sold, or have expired,
and of course current market conditions. Pricing is just one
part of the sales process. The actual marketing plan provided
by the Realtor and his/her expertise and experience are paramount
to the Seller achieving their goals.
Some of the resources that I use to sell your
home quickly and for the most money:
- 24 hour television advertising
- Constant exposure in real estate flyer
- Promotion on www.lenfreisz.com
- Local advertising in newspaper

at it’s best
