When it come to selecting a Boston luxury condo real estate agent, we don’t always have information that is available like other Boston service professionals. Whether you’re buying or selling your a Boston luxury condo, here are some considerations when selecting a real estate agent.
1) How long have they been in the business?
Take into consideration how long the agent has been involved in the Boston luxury real estate market, and what roles they’ve had. Multiple roles may help the process go a little smoother. Also find out if this is their full time job, or just something they do on the side.
2) Do they have specialties & credentials?
Boston Real estate agents who specialize in single-family homes may not be the best match to help you sell or purchase a Boston luxury condo
3) What is their average home sale like?
Find out how long it takes to make an average sale, and what the initial asking prices were, as well as the final sale prices. This is an indication of how skilled the agent is at selling Boston condos and marketing them.
4) What is their marketing plan?
Find out what marketing plan the agent plans on using. You don’t just want an open houses and a classified ads. Look for aggressive, innovative approaches and familiarity with technology. They should be able to speak about potential buyers, and how they will reach them.
5) Check that they’re licensed
Boston real estate agents are licensed in the state that they are selling in—in this case, Massachusetts. Check with your state’s regulatory body to find out if the agent is licensed, or if there have been any documented disciplinary actions or complaints.
6) Check their current listings
Look at the agent’s current Boston luxury condo listings or recent sales. You can look on the agent’s own website and on services like Zillow.com and Realtor.com. How long have they been on the market and do the listings match what you’re trying to buy or sell? This is a good indication of how they may be able to perform for you.
7) Talk with recent clients
Ask for a list of what they’ve listed and sold in the past year with contact information. Find out if anybody was particulary pleased or disappointed. Look for properties that match the one you’re selling or buying and find out how long it was on the market and ask the buyers and sellers what their experience was like with this agent.
