TOP QUESTIONS TO ASK A LISTING AGENT
When it comes time to listing your home hiring a market expert is critical to getting the results you want. Here is a list of Top Questions to Ask A Listing/Seller Agent to ensure you’re finding the best listing agent for you.
Why should I choose you as my listing agent?
What unique marketing plans and programs does this agent have in place to make sure that your home stands out favorably versus other competing homes? What things does this agent offer you that others don’t to help you sell your home in the least amount of time with the least amount of hassle and for the most amount of money?
What specific marketing systems and approaches will you use to sell my home?
A blend of online and offline marketing will reach a broader spectrum of buyers. Know the manner and frequency of advertising and any open houses. Photos: The more photos a listing has, the more attention the home will get. Ask how many will be taken and by whom. A professional photographer is preferable.
Ask to see sample marketing materials. All agents will list your home in the local MLS and their website (make sure they have one) so that’s a given. You want to know what else will be done. Compare it to the marketing plan & materials of other agents.
How much real estate did you sell last year?
Past performance can often be an indicator of future results. It may be harsh but agents who are having a hard time selling homes may also be suffering through a cash crunch which can affect their ability to invest marketing dollars into promoting your listing.
Will you represent me exclusively, or will you represent both the buyer and the seller in the transaction?
While it’s usually legal to represent both parties in a transaction, it’s important to understand where their priorities align. Your real estate agent should explain his or her agency relationship to you and describe the rights of each party.
How many homes have you sold in my area?
A great way to find a listing agent is to identify agents who have sold homes in the last six to twelve months in your specific neighborhood. Agents that are consistently selling homes in your market area will have a better handle on how and why buyers prefer living in your community. The ability to market these positives can be a huge plus when trying to locate a buyer for your home.
Do you have a specific marketing plan in mind?
Aggressive agents have aggressive marketing plans that ensure that their listings are exposed to every potential buyer in the marketplace. By coming to a meeting of the minds about what the specific marketing plan will be for your home at the outset of the listing agreement, you will set the stage for a successful relationship.
Does your broker control your advertising or do you?
If your agent is not in control of their own advertising, then your home will be competing for advertising space not only with this agent’s other listings, but also with the listings of every other agent in the brokerage.
On average, when your listings sell, how close is the selling price to the asking price?
This information is available from RPR. Is this agent’s performance higher or lower than the average? Their performance on this measurement will help you predict how high a price you will get for the sale of your home.
What happens if I’m not happy with the job you are doing to get my home sold?
Can I cancel my listing contract? Be wary of agents that lock you into a lengthy listing contract which they can get out of (by ceasing to effectively market your home) but you can’t. There are usually penalties and broker protection periods which safeguard the agent’s interests, but not yours. How confident is your agent in the service s/he will provide you? Will s/he allow you to cancel your contract without penalty if you’re not satisfied with the service provided?

- zuser20171209062055191Jerod Lee was very awesome, the best realtor my husband and I have ever had . My husband sold our 3rd house for almost 21 yrs and he was very professional, friendly, honest, personable and not a fast talker or a game player which my husband and I have had before, he was a fresh of breath air.Jerod made selling our house fast and very easy for us since we have not lived in Idaho for 8 years and was using our house in Boise as a 2 nd home,I highly recommend Jerod as a realtor and when my husband and I do move back to Idaho., I will use Jerod once again,
- frankk7Knowledgeable, responsive, and kind -- Jerod helped us quickly navigate a challenging seller's market in downtown Boise to purchase a condo that hit each of our needs (and most of our wants).Jerod suggested offering a quick close to help bring the seller closer to our preferred price (and it worked!), and his team delivered on getting an inspection done within a few days, organizing Title, utilities, documents, etc... they were so on top of each of the details, in such a short period. Jerod responded to early morning texts and late night calls, and we appreciated his (and team's) expertise at each step.Along with the above, Jerod is wonderful to work with. He was kind and attentive to our young children, friendly and respectful to us, and expecially thoughtful to our COVID concerns. His team left us the wonderful surprise of an Idaho gift basked when we moved in, and Jerod treated us to a celebratory lunch at a cafe down the block. We'll look forward to staying in touch, even when not buying/selling a home.
- YousefNasri8I could not have asked for a better home buying experience. As a first time buyer, I was very nervous and not the most knowledgeable on the process. Jerod is extremely transparent, knowledgeable and a delight to work with. He is communicative in all aspects and will explain anything you want to know about the process. He made my home purchase a breeze and I will gladly work with him again. I highly recommend anybody to work with Jerod for their real estate needs. True professional.
- MIKE simsonIt all started when I submitted a request for more info on a home in the Zillow app. I had low expectations when I was patched through to Jerod. I already had experience with realtors from other apps. I can now attest that all realtors are not equal.It turned out to be a real blessing that my wife and I were connected with Jerod. We were already speaking with other realtors, so we were staying noncommital. Jerod's commitment to our home buying process really started to make him stand out, which is why we signed with him.Even though we were unable to get the initial home we wanted in this highly competitive market, Jerod stuck with us through the many homes we got outbid on. In the end, we got our dream home. The whole time Jerod told us we were going to get the perfect home.The sellers let me know that a big factor in accepting our bid was Jerod's thoughtfulness. He thinks about the sellers' needs and makes the process easy for them, as well.Another reason to go with Jerod is that he is surrounded by an all-star team. We had the pleasure of meeting his associates during this process and they were also extremely helpful. You simply can't ask for a better realtor.
- taylor retzerMy husband and I will ALWAYS recommend Jerod. Being first time homebuyers Jerod always made sure we understood what was going on and making sure in the end we were ultimately happy and comfortable. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients and made a personal connection with Jonathan and I that we deeply appreciate. He was very knowledgeable in everything through this experience and always had our best interest at heart in everything he did. Thank you for the countless calls, texts, meet ups and negotiating you did for my husband and I. We will always recommend Jerod and use him in the future!!
- zuser20140423091052597I feel so grateful and blessed having Jerod help me with my recent (Oct 2020) house buying experience. He is totally professional, knowledgeable, competent, and very nice to work with. He answered my questions, kept me informed about the buying process (I am a new homeowner), and quickly responded to my email and text msgs. If you are in need of a real estate professional, I most strongly recommend Jerod.
