Top Industry Tips to Choose A Great Real Estate Agent

Those in the Real Estate industry know there are some very specific things you need to keep in mind when trying to find a great real estate agent to sell your home. After all, it’s a stressful job to sell a home, so you’ll want nothing less than an agent at Australia’s best real estate agency for the task.

What Traits to Look Out For 

Check Credentials

In Australia, real estate agents must have a licence to sell property. In Victoria, you must have 12 months of experience in a licensed agency, under the supervision of a licensed agent and have completed an accredited course to earn the title. Once you know that the agent you’re speaking to is licensed, make sure that they are a member of the right industry body. In Victoria, this is often the REIV. This is vital as the members receive up-to-date information about new legislation and incoming changes to their areas of expertise. 

Look At Track Records

Although a Google search or personal recommendations can get you some great names, you should look at the company and the agent’s track records before proceeding. Independent reviews and independent website databases can allow for a great indication of who the best agents are. 

Impeccable Communication 

You need to have a good relationship with the agent you choose as they will be your point of reference through the whole process.  So, you should find someone who you have a good time chatting to, who can be professional with great communication skills. Your texts and calls should be answered quickly within business hours, and your questions should all have answers. 

Look Beyond Commissions

Agent commissions in Victoria are often between 1-5%, but that doesn’t mean you go for the lowest commission, because that’s not always a great sign. It’s best to choose an agent who makes you feel like every cent is worth it due to the effort that they’ve put in over time. 

Compare Inclusions & Marketing Costs

If your prospective agent has a low commission but a very high marketing budget, this could be where they’re making back some earnings. So, you should find someone who can economise when it comes to marketing your home and know that they don’t need to use 500 techniques when just 3 will do. So, when comparing costs look at the commission, marketing and conveyancing costs all together. Stay ahead of the competition and establish a commanding online presence with tailored strategies designed specifically for commercial real estate agents.

Look Beyond the Obvious

Although you may want a local agent for their expertise, there are some benefits to looking at agents who truly are the best in their field, even if they’re a few suburbs over. After all, local expertise can be Googled, and you can even advise the agent on what the benefits of your area are, so casting the net wide is a great idea.  

Choose Established Property

When it comes to finding all the best real estate agents in one place you can’t beat Established Property. Not only does everyone embody the traits mentioned above, but they also push the limits of what a ‘great agent’ is. So contact them and get your home on the market.
