What will my Real Estate Agent do for Me?
There are many steps involved in the process of buying and
selling real estate. Although we may not see each one, here
is an idea of how your agent is working for you to meet your
needs.
-
The
agent is responsible to arrange advertising. This may involve in
a local newspaper, or their website. Usually this is done in
many places to ensure your home is seen by as many people as
possible.
-
Enter new listing into the computer system so your home
officially becomes recognized as on the market.
-
Arrange photos, interior and exterior for advertising. This may
be for a feature sheet, or for a website.
-
Put
"for sale" sign up
-
Respond to ad call enquires.
-
Arrange an open house
-
Set
up appointments for viewing. Your real estate agent makes
themselves available to view your home as soon as possible.
-
Respond to feedback from showings. The buyer's agent will inform
your selling agent how the showing went, and whether the
potential buyer is interested in seeing your home again.
-
Negotiate offers

Ensures the conditional time frame placed on an offer is
